November 5 - 9, 2012, Brussels, Belgium
Splinter - Ionospheric Effects Topical Group
J.P. Luntama (ESA) and M. Angling (QinetiQ)
Thursday, Nov 8, 14:00-16:00
Ionosphere is a critical part of the propagation medium for most types of radio transmissions. The reflections of the HF and VHF transmissions allow communications over long distances without using relay stations or satellite links. Higher frequency radio signals propagate through the ionosphere allowing satellite telecommunication links and satellite navigation. However, varying characteristics of the ionosphere can cause significant disturbances in the radio signals and cause errors or breaks in the respective services.
The Ionospheric Effect Topical Group is a forum for discussion and exchange of information, ideas and thoughts regarding ionospheric modelling, observations and miti gation techniques for ionospheric impacts on radio signals. The group also addresses topics related to the services for the end user community including new approaches for warning the users for conditions when ionospheric disturbances can compromise the integrity of services based on transionospheric radio signals.
The IETG meeting in ESWW9 in Brussels is especially focusing on the ionospheric services and end user needs for the services.
