Disturbances in the ionosphere can interfere with radio communication and satellite navigation<\/p>\n

Data from millions of phones has helped produce the most complete map ever made of the ionosphere, part of Earth\u2019s upper atmosphere. This could help us understand disturbances caused by geomagnetic storms and perhaps even improve GPS.<\/p>\n

\u201cSmartphone-based measurements cover twice as much of the ionosphere as traditional scientific monitoring stations,\u201d says Brian Williams<\/a> at Google Research. \u201cIt\u2019s like there is a scientific monitoring station in every city where there are phones.\u201d<\/p>\n
