Abstract

The growth of scintillations of GLONASS and GPS satellite signals using the Septentrio GNSS receiver installed in the city of Apatity during a strong magnetic storm on March 23—24, 2023, is analyzed. According to the ionosonde data at the Lovozero station and the data of the EISCAT radar in Tromsø, it was shown that the growth of phase scintillations is caused by an increase in the plasma concentration mainly in the E-layer of the ionosphere. The growth of phase scintillations is accompanied by the appearance of discrete forms of auroras.
