Surveying Operations Impact Assessment

Positioning Accuracy

LOW Risk

Affected Regions: Global, Mid-latitudes

Expected Impact: Minimal impact on precision; standard operations should proceed.

Accuracy Degradation: <2 cm expected

RTK GNSS Performance

LOW

Initialization Time: <1 minute expected

Network RTK Stability: Good stability; no expected disruptions.

Survey Operations

Recommended Methods:

  • static
  • kinematic
  • network_rtk

Session Duration: No adjustments necessary.

Quality Control:

  • Standard QC procedures recommended.

Surveying Operations Recommendations

Immediate Actions

  • Proceed with planned surveys; no special precautions needed.
  • Monitor space weather for potential increase after 20 Jun.
  • Ensure receivers are set to standard settings.

Survey Planning

  • No schedule adjustments required.
  • Consider scheduling critical work before 20 Jun if concerned about increased activity.

Equipment Considerations

  • Standard receiver settings acceptable.
  • No antenna positioning changes needed.

Field Crew Guidance

  • Operate normally; expect fast RTK fixes.
  • Perform standard data quality checks.

Risk Timeline

Next 24 Hours

LOW Risk
  • Quiet to unsettled conditions continue.
  • No storm activity expected.

Next 3 Days

LOW Risk
  • Continued low solar and quiet geomagnetic.
  • Slight increase in activity possible on 17-18 Jun due to CH HSS but still below G1.

Extended Outlook
