Plasma Bubbles Impact on GPS Scintillations by harsha is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Plasma bubbles form near the equator at night due to the Rayleigh-Taylor instability, which occurs when a less dense plasma layer rises through a denser layer against the force of gravity. These bubbles degrade GPS performance by causing signal scintillation as radio waves pass through regions of varying plasma density. The frequency of plasma bubble occurrence depends on location and time of year. Equatorial regions like northern Australia commonly see bubbles each night between February-April and August-O
