About this award
The University of Wisconsin-Madison will conduct atmospheric research of Uranus under a $437,447 grant from NASA. The university's Research and Sponsored Programs division, operating on behalf of the University of Wisconsin System, was awarded the prime contract to analyze striking asymmetries in Uranus' atmosphere that became evident following its 2007 equinox. Near-infrared adaptive optics images from 2011-2017 revealed numerous small, bright cloud features in the north polar region but none in similar images of the south polar region. Additionally, there is a large circulation asymmetry with the north polar region moving as a solid body. The research will be performed over a three-year period ending in late 2024 under a pricing structure other than fixed-price or cost-reimbursement.
Description
Background: striking asymmetries in the atmosphere of uranus became evident following its 2007 equinox. Gemini and keck near-IR AO images from 2011-2017 revealed numerous small bright cloud features in the north polar region, while no such features were seen in similar images of the south polar region. There is also a large circulation asymmetry: the north polar region has been moving as a solid
