Validated: 12/7/25 Source: New source to be determined
General Comment: The requirements are applicable both for phase and amplitude scintillation. Confidence: tentative
Def: :Positive impact expected but not yet validated due to lack of suitable data and/or models
Application Area Comment: Values discussed with ET-SWX. Submitted by Kirsti Kauristie AA 1.3 POC. Horizontal Coverage Comment: Hr Threshold is only a first estimate.
Observation Comment: Ionospheric scintillation caused by small scale irregularities in electron density can be monitored with GNSS receivers with high sampling (50 Hz) capability. Performance Comment: Attributes for Uncertainty and stability need still additional discussions.
