This is a $879,393.13 grant award to the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research (UCAR) from NASA to quantitatively characterize storm-time ionospheric electrodynamics. The project will leverage data from various NASA missions as well as other space- and ground-based observations, applying advanced data assimilation techniques and numerical simulations using the Thermosphere-Ionosphere-Electrodynamics General Circulation Model (TIEGCM). The goal is to obtain a realistic specification...
This $711,719.00 federal grant award to the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research (UCAR) was issued by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to conduct research on the mesosphere and lower thermosphere (MLT) region of Earth's atmosphere. The grant supports using numerical simulations and satellite data to better understand how global MLT temperature changes during geomagnetic storms and the resulting impacts on atmospheric waves and mean flow. UCAR, a non-profit...
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...
This is a $89,892.58 grant award from NASA to the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research (UCAR), which manages the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR). The grant is for a NASA-led project to advance the physical understanding of the ionosphere-thermosphere-mesosphere (ITM) region through a combination of ground-based and satellite observations, sounding rockets, and improvements to models. The goal is to provide better specification of mesospheric circulation, enhanced...
This is a $152,488 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research (UCAR), a non-profit consortium that manages the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR). The grant is for research on the "Impact of Eclipse on the Magnetosphere Through Magnetosphere-Ionosphere-Thermosphere Coupling." This work will be conducted at NCAR facilities in Boulder, Colorado. The grant does not have a set-aside...
This is a $374,925 grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research (UCAR) for a study on the penetration and disturbance of the electric field using data from the Ionosphere-Thermosphere-Mesosphere (ICON) satellite and coupled magnetosphere-thermosphere-ionosphere model simulations. UCAR manages the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) and will perform the work at its facilities in Boulder, Colorado....
This is a $936,609.00 federal grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research (UCAR) to conduct research on ionospheric outflow and its impact on global magnetosphere dynamics. UCAR manages the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) and will leverage its expertise and facilities in Earth system science to perform this work. The grant does not have a set-aside designation. UCAR...
This is a $154,073.43 grant awarded by NASA to the University of Colorado to study the dissipation of magnetospheric energy in the upper atmosphere. The research aims to understand the physical processes that drive temperature inversions observed in the lower thermosphere, such as changes in Joule heating, auroral particle precipitation, and other effects. The work combines lidar observations, satellite data, and a coupled thermosphere-ionosphere-plasmasphere model to address key science...
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $840,203.81 grant to the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research (UCAR) to develop a new method for incorporating solar and heliophysics data into models to describe and interpret the propagation and evolution of interplanetary coronal mass ejections (ICMEs) in the solar wind. The objectives are to couple solar-heliospheric models, compare model predictions to observations, understand the physical processes driving ICME...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $134,751 grant to the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research (UCAR), doing business as the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR), to conduct research on ground-based observations that characterize circulation and transport at the bottom of geospace, and to explore a new look at gravity wave drag parameterization in global thermosphere-ionosphere models. This 2-year grant, awarded on May 14, 2024, with a completion date of May 13, 2026,...
