The total failures of GPS functioning caused by the powerful solar radio burst on December 13, 2006

Afraimovich, E. L.; Demyanov, V. V.; Smolkov, G. Ya.

We investigated failures in the GPS performance produced by extremely dense solar radio burst fluxes associated with the intense (X3.4 in GOES classification) solar flare and Halo CME recorded by SOHO/LASCO on December 13, 2006. According to substantial experimental evidence, high-precision GPS positioning on the entire sunlit side of the Earth wa…
