The grant, which does not have a set-aside designation, will fund research and development activities related to understanding atmospheric tides at the ionospheric level. As a leading public...
- This federal contract award of $691,320.00 was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Virginia Polytechnic Institute & State University (Virginia Tech) to conduct research on magnetosphere-ionosphere coupling during STEVE (Strong Thermal Emission Velocity Enhancement) and SAID (Subauroral Ion Drift) events. The research aims to validate hypotheses, characterize large-scale magnetosphere-ionosphere coupling, and examine the magnetosphere-ionosphere conditions...
- This is a federal grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Virginia Polytechnic Institute & State University, doing business as Virginia Tech, in the amount of $697,557.00. The grant is for a research project to investigate the role of ultra-low frequency (ULF) waves in energy transfer in the solar wind-magnetosphere-ionosphere-thermosphere (SW-M-I-T) system, using three data sets and numerical simulations. The grant does not have a set-aside...
- This is a $1,096,121.36 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Virginia Polytechnic Institute & State University (Virginia Tech) to conduct research on the coupling between solar magnetospheric energy and atmospheric chemistry via energetic particle precipitation. The goal is to determine the amount of nitric oxide (NO) produced in the polar night lower thermosphere and the amount of NO that descends across the mesopause, which can impact stratospheric...
- This federal contract award, valued at $454,999.54, was granted to Virginia Polytechnic Institute & State University (Virginia Tech) by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to investigate techniques to improve predictions of the density of the upper atmosphere, or thermosphere. The project will build upon a prototype model named EXTEMPLAR. This award is not associated with a set-aside designation. Virginia Tech, a leading public land-grant research university,...
- This is a $280,284.80 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to Virginia Polytechnic Institute & State University (Virginia Tech) for a research project to study the atmospheric coupling between the lower atmosphere and mesosphere. The goal is to improve understanding of the influence of obliquely propagating gravity waves generated over the monsoon region on the high-latitude summer mesosphere, as indicated by polar mesospheric...
This federal contract award is a grant for research provided by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Virginia Polytechnic Institute & State University (Virginia Tech), valued at $169,853.86. The grant will fund a data analysis and modeling study on the effects of solar eclipses on the ionosphere's F-region electrodynamics, using the NRL SAMI3 and SAMI3/ESF models. The research objectives are to study conjugate hemisphere coupling, identify regions of instability and scintillation effects, and understand the impact of eclipses on plasma dynamics as they vary by latitude and local time. The grant will augment an ongoing National Science Foundation (NSF) eclipse experiment by Virginia Tech, leveraging the ground-based data and in-situ observations to inform the modeling efforts. There is no set-aside designation for this award. The principal investigators include researchers from Virginia Tech, the Naval Research Laboratory, and a Virginia Tech doctoral student.
