High Latitude Ionosphere Scintillation Characterization

Yu Jiao, Yu Morton, Steve Taylor and Wouter Pelgrum

Abstract:	This paper presents analysis of high latitude scintillation data collected in Gakona Alaska from 2010 to 2012. Amplitude and phase scintillation indices are computed for scintillation events captured by a GSV 4004B ionosphere scintillation monitor. Distributions of the maximum index values and the number of amplitude and phase scintillation events are presented in the paper. Additionally, the spatial, temporal (diurnal, monthly, and seasonal), and event duration distributions are also established to characterize the climatology of ionosphere scintillation.
