Abstract
Studies at the Air Force Research Laboratory are investigating methods for the incorporation of expected data sets from the Communication/Navigation Outage Forecast System (C/NOFS) satellite into existing scintillation specification models for an improved knowledge of the regional scintillation environment. Results from this research will form the basis for ground‐based empirical scintillation forecast algorithms. One such study involves a determination of the extent to which correlations can be made for scintillation over a range of longitudes providing valid upstream (westward) forecasts of scintillation activity based on near real‐time observations. Using archived data collected on Scintillation Network Decision Aid (SCINDA) receivers, a comprehensive study was conducted to numerically evaluate the correlation of scintillation on link pairings separated by varying degrees of longitude representing up to 3 hours in local time.
