An efficient approach to mitigate scintillation effects on GPS range-finding in ionosphere

This paper presents the optimal approach to mitigate scintillation effects caused by ionosphere irregularities, principally plasma bubbles that occur mostly in ionosphere in low latitude. The mitigation is made by figuring out the scintillation index for the chosen geographic location, ext...
