About this award
The National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR), operating under the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research (UCAR), received a $374,925 research grant from the National Science Foundation's Shared Services Center, awarded December 1, 2021, with completion targeted for December 31, 2026. This grant supports a penetration and disturbance dynamo electric field study leveraging ICON (Ionospheric Connection Explorer) satellite data and coupled magnetosphere-thermosphere-ionosphere model simulations. The research will be conducted at NCAR's Boulder, Colorado facility and contributes to advancing scientific understanding of upper atmospheric dynamics and ionospheric processes critical for space weather prediction and fundamental Earth system science.
The award carries no set-aside designation and represents continued investment in UCAR's core competency as a federally funded research and development center specializing in atmospheric and Earth system sciences. As a nonprofit consortium managing research across multiple federal agencies including NASA, NOAA, and the NSF, UCAR leverages extensive computational resources and collaborative partnerships with university networks to execute sophisticated scientific initiatives. This grant aligns with NSF's broader atmospheric sciences portfolio and supports fundamental research that enhances understanding of ionospheric phenomena with potential applications to space weather monitoring and operational forecasting capabilities.
