- This is a $520,337 grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of California, Berkeley to conduct research on solar wind turbulence and dissipation. The award aims to investigate how kinetic-scale fluctuations in the solar wind may contribute to heating and isotropizing the solar wind as it travels towards Earth. This research aligns with NASA's focus on understanding the physics of the Sun and solar system. The award was made directly to the...
- This is a grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) valued at $194,947.67. The grant is for research on the "Oscillations of Magnetospheric Field Lines with High Azimuthal Wavenumbers (M)" and how they relate to solar wind conditions. The research aims to quantify the occurrence and characteristics of these high-m waves in the magnetosphere, which are important for understanding the dynamics of...
This is a $439,032.37 grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley) to investigate the role of a newly discovered, ultra-low frequency, storm-time wave mode in the inner magnetosphere and its impact on the energization of the ion plasma populating this region of space. The research will use observations from the Van Allen Probes to characterize these waves and quantify their contribution to storm-time ion energy density. This grant is part of NASA's broader program focused on ion acceleration by kinetic scale waves in the inner magnetosphere. The award has no set-aside designation, and UC Berkeley is the prime recipient, with the State of California Controller's Office as the parent organization. This research aims to advance understanding of the physical processes governing the inner magnetosphere and may have implications for modeling the behavior of energetic radiation belt populations.
