SUMMARY OF THE EVENT: The signal reception of the GNSS L2 frequency was affected by a solar radio burst on 4th November 2015 between 14:20 and 15:02 (UTC). The maximum peak was observed at 14:29 UTC with a median fade of -5.8±2.2 dB-Hz over all EPN stations and a maximum fade of -10 dB-Hz.

Figure 1 shows the abnormal evolution of the carrier-to-noise density (C/N0) from the EPN real-time GNSS network at L1 and L2 frequencies. Monitoring C/N0 fades over the whole EPN network allows detecting Solar Radio Burst (SRB) affecting the GNSS signal reception at 4 levels:
