Dataset from the ground-based TEC and scintillation receiver in Troll station for events on March 18th and 25th, 2018

This dataset contains GNSS ionospheric scintillation and TEC monitor (GISTM) receiver data from Troll station, Antarctica, for events on March 18 and 25, 2018. It records signals from GPS, GLONASS, and Galileo satellites, providing one-minute extended summary messages including satellite azimuth/elevation, C/N0, lock time, code-minus-carrier, amplitude scintillation index S4, and phase scintillation index σφ.

Contents & fields

Data from a NovAtel GPStation-6 GISTM receiver at Troll station, Antarctica, recording GPS, GLONASS, and Galileo satellite signals. One-minute extended summary messages include the following fields:

  • Satellite azimuth/elevation——Azimuth and elevation angles of the satellite
  • C/N0——Carrier-to-noise ratio
  • Lock time——Signal lock duration
  • Code-minus-carrier——Difference between code phase and carrier phase
  • S4——Amplitude scintillation index
  • σφ——Phase scintillation index

Data are stored as tables in .txt files, each containing data and a header.

Research uses

Why this is hard to get on your own

When obtaining high-temporal-resolution ionospheric scintillation observations in polar regions, issues such as inconsistent data formats and missing field descriptions are common.
