This is a research grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Northwest Research Associates, Inc. (NWRA) to investigate and understand the lifecycle of the solar magnetic field. The grant, valued at $145,785.00, supports the use of data from the Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) mission's Helioseismic and Magnetic Imager (HMI) instrument to model the propagation of solar eruptions and their effects on Earth and space-based assets. The grant aims to better...
This competitive $767,692 grant from NASA will fund research by the Association of Universities for Research in Astronomy, Inc. (AURA) to measure subsurface solar flows and their relationship to the emergence and evolution of magnetic fields. Specifically, AURA will use helioseismic techniques to analyze Dopplergram data from NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory/Helioseismic and Magnetic Imager (SDO/HMI) to derive horizontal flow profiles in the convection zone from the solar surface down to...

(AURA), a non-profit organization that manages astronomical observatories and telescopes. The $524,743.00 grant is for a research project to perform a comprehensive study of the subsurface and surface flows associated with active regions and their evolution using data from the Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO)...
This is a grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Northwest Research Associates, Inc. (NWRA), a scientific research company based in Redmond, Washington. The $199,929 grant is for a project to produce a new temporally consistent series of solar vector magnetogram data from the Solar Dynamics Observatory/Helioseismic and Magnetic Imager (SDO/HMI) instrument. The goal is to develop an algorithm that can better disambiguate the direction of the magnetic field...
This is a grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to Northwest Research Associates, Inc. (Nwra), a for-profit scientific research organization, to determine the physical properties of the subsurface meridional circulation in the Sun's convection zone through the application of helioseismic techniques. The $259,342.08 grant will leverage data from the Helioseismic and Magnetic Imager (HMI) on the Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) as well...
This is a grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Northwest Research Associates, Inc. (Nwra) to develop an algorithm that combines different methods for estimating the radial magnetic field on the visible hemisphere of the Sun. The goal is to generate the best instantaneous radial magnetic field map for use as input to the Wang-Sheeley-Arge (WSA) solar wind model, in order to improve predictions of solar wind properties and coronal hole locations. The...
This is a $615,284 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Association of Universities for Research in Astronomy, Inc.
