This $576,056 federal contract award, with a performance period ending on April 15, 2024, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Alaska Fairbanks (UAF). The contract is for a research effort focused on understanding the wave and energized electron signatures associated with the ballooning instability in the near-Earth plasma sheet, as observed through data from various NASA missions including THEMIS, IMAGE, FAST, and CLUSTER. The research aims to compare these observations with simulations from a hybrid gyrofluid-kinetic-electron (GKE) model. This work is relevant to the Heliophysics Decadal Survey goals of determining the dynamics and coupling of the Earth's magnetosphere, ionosphere, and atmosphere, as well as discovering and characterizing fundamental physical processes. The contract does not have a set-aside designation, reflecting UAF's status as a public university. UAF, which is part of the University of Alaska System, has a strong track record of conducting federally-funded research across a range of disciplines, particularly in areas related to the Arctic environment and climate science.
