Title:
Canadian High Arctic Scintillation Model - CHASM
Agreement Number:
23SUSTCHAS
Agreement Value:
$149,928.00
Agreement Date:
Mar 24, 2024 - Mar 31, 2026
Description:
The objective of this research is to develop a forecast model for the probability of scintillation occurrence in GNSS signals over the Canadian Arctic with a high temporal and spatial resolution during quiet and disturbed geomagnetic conditions. The model will use 15 years of Canadian High Arctic Ionospheric Network (CHAIN) GNSS scintillation monitors collected data to infer statistical patterns, and solar wind parameters measured at the Lagrange point to propagate predictions into the future. The model code will be publicly available for use in scientific research and navigation systems operations worldwide.
Organization:
Canadian Space Agency
Expected Results:
The Research component of the program provides financial support to organizations to conduct space related research and development in priority areas. It will support targeted knowledge development and innovation to sustain and enhance the Canadian capacity to use space to address national needs and priorities in the future.
