- This is a $141,780.01 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Northwest Research Associates, Inc. (Nwra), a scientific research organization specializing in geophysical and space sciences. The grant is part of NASA's Science Mission Directorate and is focused on studying the role of the Lorentz force in solar flares. The project will involve retrieving the variation in height and lateral space of the magnetic field vector using data from the Hinode/SOT...
- 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 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 characterize the noise properties of the global magnetic field maps produced by HMI, which are a critical input to the models used to predict space weather impacts. This research supports NASA's broader objectives in solar and space physics, and will advance fundamental knowledge related to air-sea interaction, climate modeling, and geospace science.
