Abstract

The upper part of the atmosphere, the ionosphere, affects the Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) signals crossing it. Thanks to this effect, and to the worldwide coverage of GNSS receivers, it is possible to estimate the spatial and temporal distribution of free electrons at global scale (the so called Global Ionosphere Maps, GIMs). In this work we present a new application of the GIMs, as a simple and worldwide way of providing the scale of ionospheric storm (IsUG), in agreement with a previous definition based on raw localized GNSS data, and allowing its computation in real-time.
