    Abstract
  • Data recorded by GPS ionospheric scintillation monitors in Guangzhou (23.17°N, 113.34°E) and Maoming (21.45°N, 111.31°E) stations, which are situated near the northern crest of the equatorial ionosphere anormaly, has been used to study the day-to-day, month-to-month, local time and spatial variation characteristics of ionospheric amplitude scintillation during the period from July 2011 to June 2012. The results show that different intensity of amplitude scintillations has co mmon temporal variation characteristics. The scintillation activities with S4>0.4 and S4>0.6 mostly occur from 20:00LT to 24:00LT in spring and autumn. Spatially, scintillations distribute throughout the large region with the latitude from 18° to 27° and the longitude from 109° to 118° for Guangzhou and the latitude from 17° to 26° and the longitude from 107° to 116° for Maoming in the fall of 2011. However, scintillations mainly appear in a small area overhead in the spring of 2012 of both stations.
