For anyone interested in the current "solar maximum", Eric Gakstatter of GPS World shares his experiences at the Space Weather Workshop in Boulder, Colorado. The current Solar Cycle 24 has been weaker than expected, but the most extreme geomagnetic storms have historically occurred after the solar maximum, so the next two years may still hold some surprises and concerns.
Most of Eric's article, however, is dedicated not to space weather but to his testing of the real-time CORS streaming offered by the NGS... or rather, it was offered by the NGS. A long article, but worth the read for any of us who are interested in the advancement of GNSS technology. Read Eric's full article here.
