- This is a $592,566.71 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Colorado (CU) to conduct research on the dynamics and coupling of the Earth's magnetosphere, ionosphere, and atmosphere. The research aims to delineate and understand how complexity in the form of time-varying longitude structures is introduced into the ionosphere through lower atmosphere coupling, the longitude-dependent magnetic field, and time-varying solar flux. The data to be...
- This is a $395,773.83 grant awarded by NASA to The Regents of the University of Colorado, doing business as the University of Colorado Office of Contracts and Grants Division, a public research university. The purpose of the grant is to characterize changes in the neutral atmosphere during geomagnetic storms in order to improve the modeling of ion-neutral interactions in the topside ionosphere. This research supports NASA's Living With a Star (LWS) program goals of developing the scientific...
- This $316,157.05 federal grant award to The Regents of the University of Colorado, doing business as the University of Colorado Office of Contracts and Grants Division, is for research focused on understanding the role of atmospheric waves in influencing the structure and dynamics of the thermosphere-ionosphere system. The grant will leverage the Whole Atmosphere Model (WAM) and Coupled Thermosphere Ionosphere Plasmasphere Electrodynamics (CTIPE) models to quantify the relative contribution of...
- This is a $403,176.52 grant awarded by NASA to the University of Colorado for a study on the influence of storm-time neutral winds on Subauroral Polarization Streams (SAPS) in the magnetosphere-ionosphere-thermosphere (MIT) coupling system. The research aims to identify, separate, and quantify the feedback effect of neutral wind-generated electric fields on SAPS electric fields, ring current pressures, and region 2 field-aligned currents in the subauroral ionosphere-inner magnetosphere. The...
- This is a $686,023 grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research (UCAR), a nonprofit consortium of over 115 universities. The grant is for a research project to study the effects of the "By" component of the interplanetary magnetic field on the Earth's thermosphere and ionosphere. The project will use numerical simulations and data from the TIMED GUVI satellite to understand how thermospheric composition...
- The University of Colorado, Boulder has been awarded a $887,317 grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to conduct research on "WAVE-DRIVEN ASYMMETRIES IN THE IONOSPHERE-THERMOSPHERE DUE TO ASYMMETRIES IN THE NORTHERN AND SOUTHERN POLAR VORTICES". This 3-year grant is part of NASA's Heliophysics Science and Exploration research program and does not have a set-aside designation. The University of Colorado, a public research institution, will serve as the...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $536,726 grant to the University of Colorado Boulder to conduct research on thermosphere composition and its annual and semiannual variations. As the principal investigator, the University of Colorado will analyze how these natural variations in the upper atmosphere can drive patterns in both the thermosphere and ionosphere. The research is being conducted without a set-aside designation at the University's facilities in Boulder,...
- This is a $304,125.45 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Regents of the University of Colorado, doing business as the University of Colorado Office of Contracts and Grants Division, to conduct research on gravity waves and their effects on the ionosphere-thermosphere-mesosphere (ITM) system. The research leverages data from the Aeronomy of Ice in the Mesosphere (AIM) and Thermosphere Ionosphere Mesosphere Energetics and Dynamics (TIMED) satellite...
- This $690,892.74 grant was awarded by NASA to the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research (UCAR) to conduct an observational and modeling investigation of thermospheric density anomaly. The primary goal is to elucidate the causal relationship between high-latitude energy input and the formation of thermospheric neutral mass density anomaly through detailed model-data intercomparison. The research will leverage data from current and past NASA missions as well as other space and...
- This is a grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) for research related to the dynamics and coupling of the Earth's magnetosphere, ionosphere, and atmosphere. The $650,474.92 grant does not have a set-aside designation and will run through March 7, 2024. UCLA, through its Office of Research Administration, will use a combination of data from the Fast Auroral Snapshot (FAST) and Time History of Events and...
