About this award
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $481,260.00 grant to the University of Scranton to conduct research on Traveling Ionospheric Disturbances (TIDs) and their impact on high frequency (3-30 MHz) radio communications. TIDs are quasi-periodic variations in the ionosphere that affect the range and quality of radio transmissions. The University of Scranton, a private Catholic and Jesuit university in Pennsylvania, will use this funding to deploy receiver networks and model radio wave propagation to better understand solar eclipse atmospheric effects and ionospheric variability. This grant is not associated with a set-aside contract vehicle and represents the university's expertise in space physics and ionospheric research for NASA.
Description
Traveling ionospheric disturbances (tids) are quasi-periodic variations of f-region ionospheric densities that affect the range and quality of high frequency (3-30 MHZ) radio communications by moving the ionospheric skip-focusing distance as the TID
