Space Weather is one of the major limiting factors for the precision and reliability of positioning, navigation, and timing (PNT) services from the global navigation satellite system (GNSS). Geomagnetic storm and substorms, solar flares and ionospheric irregularities can result in GNSS PNT deterioration. This Topical Collection is devoted to novel statistical and case studies of space weather impacts on GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, BeiDou, including various augmentations, and new approaches to observing space weather influences.  Real-time services are of particular interest. The collection also highlights different approaches to mitigate space weather influences on single-frequency, dual-frequency, real-time kinematic and precise point positioning (Ionosphere only). The peculiarities and evaluation of different ionosphere models for single-frequency operation and global ionosphere maps during space weather events is another focus area.

GPS Solutions is a quarterly scientific journal covering system design issues and a full range of current and emerging applications of global navigation satellite systems (GNSS) such as GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, BeiDou, and various augmentations. Prime interest is devoted to novel, innovative, or highly demanding uses. Areas of application include: aviation, surveying and mapping, forestry and agriculture, maritime and waterway navigation, public transportation, time and frequency comparisons and dissemination, space and satellite operations, law enforcement and public safety, communications, meteorology and atmospheric science, geosciences, monitoring global change, technology and engineering, GIS, geodesy, and more.

GPS Solutions employs the “Continuous Article Publishing” publication model, where all accepted articles are immediately published in an issue when ready. More information may be found here (this opens in a new tab).
