The eruption of Tonga's volcano in January 2022 resulted in disturbances in the ionosphere, creating a unique "super plasma bubble" over northern Australia. This bubble had a notable impact on GPS positioning, causing significant delays of over five hours to establish location lock. The incident underscores the significance of comprehending the influence of environmental elements on technology and highlights the importance of monitoring and predicting disturbances in the ionosphere to mitigate potential disruptions.
