Additional information
This paper demonstrates that the space-weather processes causing the aurora borealis can also cause loss of GPS signals. Mitchell deployed the GPS equipment under an EPSRC Advanced Fellowship and made the discovery with Paul Kintner. First author Smith was a Bath PhD student and the other institutions provided data. The paper has been referenced in two significant documents (FAA and for ESA). The results and the signal processing developed here laid foundations for Bath in several further major projects GAARDIAN (TSB consortium, £2M), POLARIS (EPSRC consortium, £1.4M) and TRANSMIT (EU consortium, Euro5M). The work is interdisciplinary with physics.
