Geomagnetic storm effects on GPS based navigation
The energetic events on the sun, solar wind and subsequent effects on the Earth’s geomagnetic field and upper atmosphere (ionosphere) comprise space weather. Modern navigation systems that use radio-wave signals, reflecting from or propagating through the ionosphere as a means of determining range or distance, are vulnerable to a variety of effects that can degrade the performance of the naviga...
متن کاملEffects of ULF wave power on relativistic radiation belt electrons: 8–9 October 2012 geomagnetic storm
Electromagnetic ultralow-frequency (ULF) waves are known to play a substantial role in radial transport, acceleration, and loss of relativistic particles trapped in the Earth’s outer radiation belt. Using in situ observations by multiple spacecraft operating in the vicinity of outer radiation belts, we analyze the temporal and spatial behavior of ULF waves throughout the geomagnetic storm of 8–...
متن کاملMutagenic effects of heavy charged particles.
Heavy charged particles constitute the most important radiation risk in space. Since mutations can give rise to cancer the investigation of their induction may be helpful for risk quantification. This paper describes experiments in a number of mammalian cells performed with a large range of linear energy transfer (LET). RBE values are always found to increase with LET up to about 100 keV/microm...
متن کاملEffects of Charged Particles on Human Tumor Cells
The use of charged particle therapy in cancer treatment is growing rapidly, in large part because the exquisite dose localization of charged particles allows for higher radiation doses to be given to tumor tissue while normal tissues are exposed to lower doses and decreased volumes of normal tissues are irradiated. In addition, charged particles heavier than protons have substantial potential c...
متن کاملVerification of Low Latitude Ionosphere Effects on WAAS During October 2003 Geomagnetic Storm
The Federal Aviation Administration’s Wide Area Augmentation System (WAAS) provides high integrity GPS-based precision navigation service to users in the conterminous United States. In October 2003, only four months after WAAS was commissioned, a series of coronal mass ejections from the sun triggered one of the strongest geomagnetic and ionospheric storms of the solar cycle. WAAS user integrit...
