Vertical Total Electron Content (VTEC) estimated in Near Real-Time (NRT)
every 5 minutes with multi-GNSS data (GPS+GLONASS+Galileo) from the EUREF
Permanent Network (EPN) (before the 20/05/2022, every 15 minutes with
GPS-only data).
Solar Radio Bursts (SRB) emitted at the GNSS frequencies can affect the GNSS signal reception. To detect such event, a SRB warning system with a 4-level index is set in Europe using the EUREF Permanent Network.
