- This $398,944.55 grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) enables The Johns Hopkins University, a private research university, to conduct research on the multi-scale processes of ring current buildup in the Earth's magnetosphere. The overarching goal is to advance the physical understanding of how energetic ions are transported from the magnetotail to the inner magnetosphere and accelerated during geomagnetic storms. The proposed research, which has a period of...
- This is a $398,682.18 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The Johns Hopkins University to conduct research on the multi-scale processes of ring current buildup. The research aims to advance the physical understanding of the transport and acceleration of energetic ions from the magnetotail into the inner magnetosphere during geomagnetic storms. The grant, which runs from April 1, 2016 to November 12, 2020, will leverage data analysis and state-of-the-art...
- This is a $369,967.61 grant awarded by the Shared Services Center, a civilian agency, to The Johns Hopkins University to conduct research on the dynamics and coupling of the Earth's magnetosphere, ionosphere, and atmosphere in response to solar and terrestrial inputs. The objective is to identify and characterize the primary plasma motions responsible for the onset of explosive magnetotail activity during substorms and bursty bulk flows. The research will use data from NASA's Cluster, THEMIS,...
- The Johns Hopkins University was awarded a $203,902.74 grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to develop a time-dependent simulation model of the inner heliosphere and solar wind environment. The project aims to improve scientific understanding and space weather forecasting by incorporating data-assimilative photospheric magnetic field maps into a magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) model. Key tasks include integrating time-varying inputs from the ADAPT-WSA model, developing...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration awarded a $1.3 million grant to The Johns Hopkins University to support research understanding and predicting geospace storm dynamics as part of the agency's Heliophysics program. The three-year award will fund research at the prime contractor's facilities in Baltimore, Maryland, beginning March 2020. No subcontractors or set-aside designations were identified. NASA's Heliophysics seeks to develop a scientific understanding of the solar and space...
- This is a grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The Johns Hopkins University for research related to the Earth's magnetosphere during extreme events. The overarching goal is to reconstruct the geomagnetic field, electric currents, and plasma pressure during superstorms, as measured by the Disturbance Storm Time (Dst) index. The $792,817.40 grant does not have a set-aside designation and has a performance period through June 28, 2024. The Johns Hopkins...
- This is a $319,554.14 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The Johns Hopkins University (JHU) to study the effects of interplanetary shocks on the Earth's magnetosphere. The study aims to improve understanding of how shock-induced cavity mode oscillations (CMOs) interact with energetic electrons in the magnetosphere. The investigation will leverage data from multiple space weather monitoring satellites, including the Van Allen Probes and Time History of...
- This $490,276.93 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The Johns Hopkins University aims to improve predictions and modeling of the variability of relativistic electrons in the Earth's outer radiation belt. The project will develop a physics-based model with data-flexible ingestion capability to provide more accurate forecasts of the energetic particle and plasma conditions encountered by spacecraft within Earth's magnetosphere. This will help mitigate...
- This is a $712,925 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The Johns Hopkins University to conduct research on the critical role of complex and localized geomagnetic disturbances (GMDs) and their interaction with the Earth's 3D conductivity distribution in driving geoelectric fields (GEFs). The grant is part of NASA's ongoing work in this area and does not have a set-aside designation. The Johns Hopkins University, a private non-profit research university,...
- This is a $319,012.72 grant awarded by the Shared Services Center, a civilian U.S. government agency, to The Johns Hopkins University on June 1, 2016. The objective of this grant is to develop a comprehensive model of Mercury's magnetospheric magnetic field to better understand the interactions between Mercury's interior, surface, and magnetosphere, which is relevant to the Solar System Roadmap's goal of determining how the solar system evolved to its current state. The grant supports three main...
This is a $308,034.22 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland. The grant is for a project titled "Storm-Time Magnetosphere: Specification and Prediction Using a Global MHD Model with Empirical Ring Current Pressure" which aims to improve predictive modeling of the geospace environment during geomagnetic storms. The project will extract equilibrium magnetic pressure data from the Tsyganenko empirical magnetic field model and use it to augment a global magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) model, in order to better capture the physics of the inner magnetosphere during storm conditions. This work is relevant to the Variability of the Sun and Its Terrestrial Impact (VARSITI) program objectives of the Scientific Committee on Solar-Terrestrial Physics (SCOSTEP). The grant does not have a set-aside designation and was awarded on November 10, 2015 with a final completion date of September 10, 2021.
