About this award
The University of New Hampshire (UNH), operating under the University System of New Hampshire, received a $149,991 research grant awarded on September 6, 2022, with an ultimate completion date of September 5, 2026. This civilian-funded award supports the development of a new measurement capability for understanding turbulence in Earth's upper atmosphere, specifically within the mesosphere and lower thermosphere region (approximately 80-125 kilometers altitude). Led by student researcher Lance Davis, the project focuses on tailoring the Winds Cross Track Instrument to advance understanding of how vertical energy and momentum transfer is controlled by turbulence at these altitudes. The work will be performed in Lee, New Hampshire, with no set-aside designation applied to this award.
This grant represents UNH's continued engagement in atmospheric and space science research, building on the institution's established portfolio of federal research partnerships. As a land-grant research institution, UNH has demonstrated significant capabilities in supporting scientific priorities across aerospace, environmental science, and advanced technologies through partnerships with federal agencies including NASA and NOAA. The research grant structure and focus on instrumentation development and student training align with typical broader impacts emphasized in federally-funded academic research, contributing to both scientific advancement and workforce development in atmospheric science and engineering disciplines.
