Thanks to Noaa Space Wx Prediction Center for giving us the opportunity to present at their User Engagement Workshop today. Kostas Stamatiou presented the team's work integrating the new GloTEC data product into Zephr's virtual positioning engine. Bottom line, it improved positioning accuracy by 45% over native Android positioning of a Pixel 8 Pro and by 33% over the predicted CODETEC product we used previously. Even more impressive the GloTEC real time product matched the performance of CODETEC's post processed product in our testing. To see all the details check out the slides below: https://lnkd.in/etTnXK_D The workshop had many wonderful presentations. Beyond the daily benefits of better TEC maps the SWPC work also helps predict and monitor scintillations, which can knock out GNSS entirely. We learned a lot about the impact on agriculture from the loss of autonomous tractors during these events. Really critical work on multiple fronts that I'm proud our taxpayer dollars are funding. Thanks to Tzu-Wei Fang for organizing the event and including us.
