- 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 $319,899 grant by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's Shared Services Center to conduct research on ultra-low-frequency (ULF) waves in Earth's inner magnetosphere. The project focuses on analyzing spacecraft data from the Radiation Belt Storm Probes (Van Allen Probes) and solar wind data from the THEMIS mission to characterize poloidal ULF waves with radial field line displacement that occur during geomagnetic storms. The research aims...
- This contract award to The Johns Hopkins University (JHU) is for a project to investigate the influence of solar wind and interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) parameters on the structure and evolution of the Earth's inner magnetosphere. The goal is to develop capabilities for quantitative prediction and specification of the inner magnetosphere environment. The $361,761.37 project will leverage new empirical geomagnetic field models and data from missions like Van Allen Probes and THEMIS to...
- This is a $415,871.15 grant awarded to The Johns Hopkins University by the Shared Services Center (an alternate name for a NASA center) to conduct research on the plasma convection in the distant plasma sheet of the Earth's magnetosphere. The research aims to investigate the statistical characteristics, solar wind-driven responses, and ionospheric manifestations of the magnetic flux transport in this region using data from the ARTEMIS and THEMIS spacecraft missions. As a non-set-aside grant...
- 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 $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...
- This is a $744,398.43 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The Johns Hopkins University to investigate the accumulation, transport, and energization of oxygen ions (O+) in the plasma sheet and inner magnetosphere. The research aims to address key science questions on how O+ ion properties evolve during geomagnetic storms, how the spatial distribution of O+ ions depends on solar wind conditions and geomagnetic indices, and where the transport of O+ ions...
- This is a $331,405.76 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The Johns Hopkins University to conduct research on electromagnetic ion cyclotron (EMIC) waves in the Earth's magnetosphere. The research aims to definitively determine the fundamental properties and propagation characteristics of EMIC waves using data from the Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) mission, as well as confirm their evolution using observations from other spacecraft. This work is directly...
