eSWua GNSS Scintillation Network
(eSWua)Description
The eSWua GNSS Scintillation network is part of the INGV ionospheric monitoring network, managed by the "Upper atmosphere physics and radiopropagation" INGV group (Rome, Italy). The network allows monitoring the ionospheric scintillations on a global scale and currently includes different models of GNSS ionospheric scintillation and TEC Monitor (GISTM) receivers. The INGV scintillation network has been active since 2003 when the first instrument was installed in Svalbard (Norway). The scintillation network is currently composed of more than 20 GISTM receivers distributed in several regions (Antarctic and Arctic areas, Europe, south and central America, central Africa and east Asia) covering high, low, and middle latitudes and operating 24/7 thanks to the collaboration with several partner institutions. Data from the stations are collected in a centralized IT infrastructure at INGV headquarter in Rome, ingested into the eswua scintillation database and freely available through the eSWua website. Either INGV receivers as well as those managed by other parties are part of the network; the data management system harmonizes the information from different sources and can potentially ingest the data from any other scintillation receiver model.
