abstract = "The presence of the South Atlantic Magnetic Anomaly (SAMA) is one
of the most outstanding importance in the Ionospheric
irregularities studies over Southern Brazil. Nowadays, the
geomagnetic field intensity near the SAMA center is about 23000
nT. The cosmic rays energetic particles (electron and protons),
can be trapped in the Van Allen Belt and also particles from the
solar wind or from the Coronal Mass Ejection (CME),and they can
precipitate easily in the atmosphere and ionize its constituents.
Ionospheric irregularities analysis were made using GPS data
(Global Positioning System) from the satellite receivers over the
L1 band (fL1 = 1.5754 GHz) were detected with ground receivers
installed at the Southern Space Research Center CRS/INPE - MCT,
Santa Maria, RS, Brazil (Lat.: 29.71ºS Long.: 53.71ºW Lat.dip:
19,63º S) which are integrated in the GPSs SCINTMON and CASCADE
receivers network's, developed by Cornell University (USA). Due
the Ionospheric irregularities, the GPS received signal can
presents disturbances and scintillations, which can be caused by
plasma bubbles (a kind of Ionospheric irregularity). This specific
kind of Ionospheric irregularity will be analyzed during a calm
and a disturbed period and the drift velocity will be calculated
for the plasma bubbles using spaced GPS receivers.",
