“…Aurora, which has the form of an auroral oval ( Fig.1), occurs in layers that distort the signal from the GLONASS and GPS satellites [17]. Studies conducted by Chernousov [18] show that during auroras the GPS fails. For example, this happens to operate on GPS on sub-auroral and auroral stations, such as AB18 (66.7°N, 162.6°W), Tiksi (71.3°N, 128.5°E), KIR0 (67.5°N, 21.0°E), and NNVN (61.4°N, 44.9°W).…”
