About this award
The Regents of the University of Colorado, operating through its Office of Contracts and Grants Division, has been awarded a $2.29 million research grant by a civilian federal agency to conduct the Occultation Wave Limb Sounder (OWLS) for Thermospheric Gravity Wave Studies project (Contract 19-HFORT19-2-0009). The research will be performed in Boulder, Colorado, with a completion deadline of February 28, 2027. This grant-type award supports scientific investigation into gravity waves in the atmosphere—atmospheric disturbances arising from wind flow over topography and deep atmospheric convection—which play a significant role in atmospheric dynamics. No set-aside designation was applied to this award, reflecting the university's competitive capabilities in federal research funding.
The University of Colorado brings substantial expertise in space physics and atmospheric research to this initiative, drawing on its extensive portfolio of federally funded projects spanning NASA, the National Science Foundation, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, and the Department of Defense. The institution's demonstrated competency in space science research, combined with specialized technical capabilities in atmospheric and space physics investigations, positions it well to advance understanding of gravity wave phenomena and their thermospheric effects through the OWLS project.
Description
Gravity waves (GWS) are atmospheric waves that commonly arise from irregularities in the fluid motion, such as wind flow over topography (e.g. mountain or LEE waves) or from deep atmospheric convection. IT is generally accepted that GWS play an
