About this award
This federal contract award, with ID 80NSSC18K1452, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Space Science Institute (SSI), a nonprofit research organization based in Boulder, Colorado. The $90,000.00 grant supports research on how substorm dipolarizations and flows affect the magnetic field and electric currents, with the goal of gaining insight into the drivers of the current wedge system associated with substorm events. This work involves 3D magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) simulations to be compared with satellite observations. The deliverables include publications in peer-reviewed journals and presentations at scientific conferences. The contract does not have a set-aside designation, as SSI competes for awards based on scientific and technical merit. SSI has extensive experience supporting NASA, the National Science Foundation (NSF), and the Department of Energy (DOE) in areas such as astrophysics, planetary science, atmospheric science, solar and space physics, and heliophysics.
Description
The proposed investigation concerns the modeling of how substorm dipolarizations and flows affect the magnetic field and electric currents. The proposed work consists primarily of 3D MHD simulations to investigate the spatial and temporal properties of the fields to be compared with satellite observations, both locally and statistically. The goal is to get insight into what drives the different current loops of the current wedge system associated with dipolarization events and substorms. The ultimate deliverables are publications in the refereed open literature, as well as presentations of the results in national and international scientific conferences.
