Results of radio sounding of the south polar auroral oval performed with the GNSS signals of a sledge-track train around the Russian Antarctic station "Vostok"

Under the program of the 60<sup>th</sup> Russian Antarctic expedition of the 2014-2015s, during the sledge-tracked crossing of Antarctica to "Vostok" station 8.01.2015-19.01.2015, an experiment was conducted to receive signals from navigation services of satellite communication...
