Lots of people have asked me what’s going on with the drones in New Jersey. (No, I’m not flying them!) Here’s what I think is actually happening. (Thread)

#GPS is an incredible US taxpayer value. There are 6 active GPS satellites that have been operational more than 20 yrs. The oldest was launched in 1997. I believe the original satellite design life was 7 yrs. What a great success story. #GNSS #GIS.

Wrap-up on extreme #solarstorm Fri-Sat-Sun, on hi-accuracy #GNSS in the north lats:. SBAS - Fri was brutal. 6m+ horiz, 28m+ vertical err. Sat/Sun normal. RTK - lots of low-end RTK rcvrs not FIXing, esp. drones. Legacy RTK rcvrs performed normal. Experience counts. #GPS #GIS

The ionosphere returned to GNSS-friendly for the moment. This image is 1100hrs US Pacific time. The accuracy from #WAAS is actually very good now. #GPS #GNSS #GIS #precisonag #surveying #drone #SolarFlare

The worst #solarstorm for #GNSS since the 2003 storms. WAAS/SBAS is tanking. Beware to those #GIS and #precisionag folks using WAAS for mapping high-accuracy and expecting the usual < 1m error. 1st image was around 3p PT. The 2nd was about 5p PT. Worse earlier in the day.

I'm always interested in claims about manned aircraft colliding with a #Drone. It turns out it was a bird. #UAS #UAV #GNSS #GPS #clickbait

Wow, big #solarflare event! It tanked the United States cell networks and #GPS!. No, no it did not. No impact on high-accuracy GNSS users. The cell networks?? Something, but it wasn't the sun. #GNSS @NWSSWPC #GIS

Wow, @DJIGlobal abandoning iOS device support. The iPad Mini was my goto device for 3rd party mission apps. #drones #GIS #UAS #UAV #GNSS #GPS

Editing related records feature was added to @ArcGISOnline. @esri said it's one of the most requested features. #GIS @EsriUC

2/2 Solar cycles are 13 yrs. We are midway to the peak of the current cycle. The extreme events usually occur between now and on the back-side of the peak. The sun spot activity in June 2023 was the highest since 2002. #GPS #GNSS #GIS.

1/2 We've enjoyed a quiet sun for the past 2 decades. The "Halloween" storms of 2003 disrupted GNSS services, mostly SBAS, due to it's dependence on a modeled ionosphere. This cycle seems to be more active. #GPS #GNSS #GIS.

Doesn't matter if I'm looking for these or not, they always catch my attention. And these are really remote. There are only 3k people on this island. #GPS #GNSS #GIS
