Abstract
A method of implementing a real-time screening process for phase scintillation is presented. The method includes detecting a phase scintillation event during a sample time period at a phase scintillation monitor; excluding associated satellite measurement data from further use based on the detection of the phase scintillation event at the phase scintillation monitor; detecting an end to the phase scintillation event at the phase scintillation monitor; and readmitting associated satellite measurement data collected after the end of the phase scintillation event as detected by the phase scintillation monitor.
