About this award

This is a $520,337 grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of California, Berkeley to conduct research on solar wind turbulence and dissipation. The award aims to investigate how kinetic-scale fluctuations in the solar wind may contribute to heating and isotropizing the solar wind as it travels towards Earth. This research aligns with NASA's focus on understanding the physics of the Sun and solar system. The award was made directly to the University of California, Berkeley, which is the prime contractor. The State of California Controller's Office, as the parent organization, would administer any funding provided under this grant. The award does not have a set-aside designation and is set to run through March 2026.

Description

Recent observational and theoretical work on solar wind turbulence and dissipation suggests that kinetic-scale fluctuations are both heating and isotropizing the solar wind during transit to 1 AU. The nature of these fluctuations and associated heati
