Geomagnetic Storm Affecting GPS Signals - May 2024
posted on Saturday, May 11, 2024 in News/Blog Saturday, May 11 - 9:00am Update: Yesterday, we sent out a text message advising customers to turn off their RTK and use a grace period of SF2 or SF3. We believe that the SF2 and SF3 accuracy is also extremely compromised as well due to this storm.
Because SF2 and SF3 do not receive all of these corrections, those signals weren’t affected as much, but we do suspect that the pass-to-pass accuracy is extremely degraded while still allowing customers to run. This can also affect your section control, but we don't expect it to create any excessively large overlaps or skips - however, the situation at hand is definitely not ideal. We are in search of tool to help predict this in the future so that we can attempt to give our customers an alert that this issue may be coming.
