    <description>Statistical characterization of the percentage occurrence of GNSS scintillation performed by means of the so-called Ground-Based Scintillation Climatology (GBSC) model (Spogli et al., 2009). The model calculates, for a specific GNSS scintillation receiver of the eSWua network, the percentage ratio between the occurrences of the scintillation index (S4 or SigmaPhi) values exceeding a defined threshold and the total number of available observations. The percentage occurrences are evaluated within 1-hour interval (time resolution). The resulting data are organized into a matrix, with the hours of the day on the x-axis, the days of the year on the y-axis, and the percentage of scintillation occurrences represented by the values of each matrix cell.</description>

                <description>This tool allow to displays the timeline of the scintillation occurrences for each station of the eSWua network for a time period of maximum 30 days (at one time). The user can select the station, the time period, the scintillation index (either S4 or sigma-phi, both measured on L1), the elevation mask, and the threshold value above which an observation is considered a scintillation event.</description>
