How do the Northern Lights Affect GPS Receivers?

Показать описание
The Northern Lights occur within the ionosphere, the layer of charged particles (electrons and ions) between 30 and 600 miles above the Earth’s surface. This layer is a tricky challenge for GPS navigation systems: it slows down and bends radio waves passing through it, forcing GPS devices to correct for it.
