Solar-Terrestrial Environment Laboratory of Nagoya University developed a observation system that consists of three closely spaced GPS receivers which measure ionospheric scintillation of the 1.575 GHz signal. Ionospheric plasma drift velocity can be determined through this system. In this homepage, plots of S4-index obtained with the three GPS receivers are shown.
