- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $840,203.81 grant to the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research (UCAR) to develop a new method for incorporating solar and heliophysics data into models to describe and interpret the propagation and evolution of interplanetary coronal mass ejections (ICMEs) in the solar wind. The objectives are to couple solar-heliospheric models, compare model predictions to observations, understand the physical processes driving ICME...
- This is a $219,904.30 grant awarded by NASA to the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research (UCAR) to quantify the three-dimensional coronal magnetic field in eruption-prone solar regions. The goal is to understand the source of magnetic energy that powers coronal mass ejections (CMEs). The grant will enable UCAR to aggregate data from various NASA satellites to create integrated, consistent sets of three-dimensional constraints on the solar corona's magnetic field, known as...
- This is a $152,488 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research (UCAR), a non-profit consortium that manages the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR). The grant is for research on the "Impact of Eclipse on the Magnetosphere Through Magnetosphere-Ionosphere-Thermosphere Coupling." This work will be conducted at NCAR facilities in Boulder, Colorado. The grant does not have a set-aside...
- This is a $436,834.68 federal grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research (UCAR), a non-profit consortium of over 115 universities that manages the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR). The purpose of the grant is to constrain the lower limits of solar irradiance and create a grand minimum scenario based on a well-characterized photospheric magnetic field distribution using a small-scale dynamo...
- This $711,719.00 federal grant award to the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research (UCAR) was issued by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to conduct research on the mesosphere and lower thermosphere (MLT) region of Earth's atmosphere. The grant supports using numerical simulations and satellite data to better understand how global MLT temperature changes during geomagnetic storms and the resulting impacts on atmospheric waves and mean flow. UCAR, a non-profit...
- This is a $94,924.22 grant awarded by the Shared Services Center, a civilian federal agency, to the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research (UCAR) for a joint NASA, NSF, and NOAA research project on Geomagnetically Induced Currents. The award is for a research grant with an ultimate completion date of June 15, 2023. UCAR, a non-profit organization that manages the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR), will leverage its expertise in atmospheric and Earth system sciences to...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $599,572.13 grant to the Regents of the University of Michigan, Office of Research and Sponsored Projects, to conduct research on the physical processes that lead to large-scale solar eruptions, including flares and coronal mass ejections (CMEs). The research aims to understand how magnetic energy and helicity are transported from the solar convection zone to the corona, the mechanisms that trigger CMEs, the relationship...
- This is a $936,609.00 federal grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research (UCAR) to conduct research on ionospheric outflow and its impact on global magnetosphere dynamics. UCAR manages the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) and will leverage its expertise and facilities in Earth system science to perform this work. The grant does not have a set-aside designation. UCAR...
- This federal contract award, valued at $81,477.70, was granted to the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research (UCAR) by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). The contract supports the development and operation of the K-COR CME (Coronal Mass Ejection) detection code, which is essential for producing rapid space weather forecasts. The code can identify all but the faintest CME events, providing velocity and position information. The contract is a research grant with...
- This is a $1,047,269 grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) to the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research (UCAR), doing business as the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR). The award is to execute a balanced science program based on guidance from the National Academies, agency priorities, and congressional direction. The focus is on scientific research related to the Moon, Mars, and beyond, as well as advancing discovery in emerging fields through...
This is a grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research (UCAR), also known as the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR). The grant, valued at $846,133.00, is for UCAR/NCAR to perform magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) simulations of coronal mass ejections (CMEs) in the solar corona. The goal is to understand the build-up and eruption of CMEs, and how their properties like acceleration, speed, and direction can be determined through observations and modeling. The research aims to improve understanding of the conditions that lead to different types of CME events and their potential impact on space weather forecasting. This grant is not associated with a set-aside contract vehicle, and UCAR/NCAR will be the prime contractor performing the work at their facilities in Boulder, Colorado.
