| Abstract | Summary form only given. Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) such as GPS, Galileo or Glonass provide good positioning results for a lot of applications. However, they can be heavily disturbed by space weather hazards. Severe temporal and spatial changes of the electron density in the ionosphere can lead to strong GNSS signal fluctuations in phase and amplitude - so-called scintillations. Processes leading to such ionospheric perturbations are ionization fronts, Travelling Ionospheric Disturbances (TIDs), plasma bubbles and plasma turbulences. Since a guaranteed performance is crucial for precise positioning and safety of life applications, it is necessary to monitor this thread. This can be done by multi-frequency measurements of GNSS signals. From these measurements signal amplitude and signal phase scintillation indices can be derived. These indices are a characteristic measure of occurring scintillations, should they surpass a certain threshold. Additionally, these multi-frequency measurements offer the unique opportunity to probe the electron density structure of the global ionosphere-plasmas ph ere system. As the ionosphere is a dispersive medium, multi-frequency measurements allow for a tomography of the ionosphere. Thus maps of the total electron content (TEC) of the ionosphere can be derived, which are strongly related to the ionospheric impact on GNSS applications. Our contribution will be twofold. First, we will explain the setup of the DLR high-rate receiver chain, the so called Experimentation and Verification Network (EVnet). The EVnet - developed by DLR's Institute of Communications and Navigation - is an infrastructure component for the near-real-time reception, processing and distribution of any kind of GNSS data to the EVnet user community. The network as shown in the figure includes, among others, stations in Kiruna, Neustrelitz, Munich, Toulouse, Tenerife and Bahir Dar. The data can be distributed over the Internet or any local area networks by specific EVnet services. It is designed as a one-stop shop system and products can be directly derived at the stations. These products can then be distributed or disseminated via a web service such as the Space Weather Application Center - Ionosphere (SWACI). Second, we will show, how ionospheric perturbation can be observed in real-time with the EVnet along its associated stations. In particular, we will show the propagation of scintillations at high-latitudes as well as those at equatorial latitudes in stations such as Kiruna and Bahir Dar. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
