About this award

Global Atmospheric Technologies and Sciences, Inc. (GATS) was awarded a $1.36M research grant by a civilian federal agency on October 19, 2023, to develop, test, and implement machine-learning methodology for quantifying heat and momentum fluxes into the stratosphere, mesosphere, thermosphere, and ionosphere. The work addresses gravity wave energy and momentum transports originating from lower atmospheric sources, directly supporting Science Goals 2 and 4 of the Heliophysics Decadal Survey on atmosphere-ionosphere coupling and fundamental heliospheric processes. GATS will leverage existing machine-learning algorithms utilizing supercomputer CPUs and GPUs to approximate gravity wave responses at higher altitudes. The methodology employs the GATS Complex Geometry Compressible Atmosphere Model (CGCAM) to solve compressible Navier-Stokes equations at spatial resolutions sufficient to describe the evolution and breakdown of gravity waves from atmospheric dynamics.

The contract, structured as a research grant with no set-aside designation, is scheduled for completion by October 18, 2026, and will be performed at GATS's facility in Newport News, Virginia. This award builds upon GATS's established expertise in atmospheric science research and remote sensing, supporting the agency's broader heliophysics research portfolio focused on understanding upper atmosphere processes and their coupling with lower atmospheric phenomena.

Description

Development, testing, and implementation of a machine-learning methodology to quantify heat and momentum fluxes into the stratosphere, mesosphere, thermosphere, and ionosphere due to primary and secondary gravity wave sources at lower altitudes
