- This is a research grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) for $695,566.47. The purpose of the grant is to study the impact of geomagnetic storms on the ionosphere, which can affect radio communications and navigation systems. The research will utilize various data sources, including global electron content data, regional ionosphere observations, and in-situ satellite measurements, to better understand the...
- This federal contract award to Colorado State University, through its Sponsored Programs division, is for research and development focused on improving Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) radio occultation techniques for investigating ionospheric irregularities. The objectives include developing robust multi-GNSS receiver algorithms to track scintillation signals, using data-driven physics-based methods to localize ionospheric irregularities, and performing mixed-scale multi-GNSS...
- This $88,653.72 federal grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the Regents of the University of Colorado (University of Colorado) aims to quantify the accuracy and reliability of global navigation satellite system (GNSS) data for space weather monitoring and atmospheric retrievals. The University will evaluate how the GNSS vendor treats ionospheric contributions to excess phase, which serves as a remote diagnostic of space weather. Key...
- This is a $864,129.00 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Trustees of Boston University, a private, non-profit educational institution, to conduct research on the relationship between GPS radio signal scintillation and plasma conditions in the high-latitude ionosphere. The research aims to address three key science questions: (1) how scintillation occurrence and strength are related to ionosphere conditions, (2) what types of auroral and airglow forms are...
- The Regents of the University of Colorado, doing business as the University of Colorado Office of Contracts and Grants Division, was awarded a $262,036.00 grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to develop Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) Radio Occultation (RO) receiver tracking and ionospheric irregularities localization algorithms, as well as high resolution polar ionospheric imaging and analysis. The work, which has a completion date of January 30, 2020,...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $738,619.00 grant to Trustees of Boston University, a private university in Boston, Massachusetts, to conduct research on improving the accuracy of magnetosphere-ionosphere-thermosphere (MIT) simulators used to model extreme space weather events. The research aims to incorporate the effects of small-scale physical processes like precipitation and ionospheric turbulence, which dramatically impact ionospheric conductivities and...
- This $252,092 grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Regents of the University of Colorado, Boulder (doing business as the University of Colorado) will fund research to detect and mitigate carrier phase cycle slips in global navigation satellite system (GNSS) radio occultation (RO) data. The research aims to improve the accuracy of tropospheric and ionospheric profiles derived from the GNSS RO measurements collected by Spire Global's CubeSat constellation. The...
- This is a grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The Aerospace Corporation, a federally funded research and development center (FFRDC), to study the effects of precipitating electrons on the coupling between the magnetosphere and ionosphere. The $394,817.71 grant will support the development of models to investigate how electron scattering by waves in the magnetosphere affects trapped electron fluxes and precipitating electron energy flux distributions...
- This is a $500,898 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research (UCAR), a nonprofit consortium of over 115 universities. The grant will fund a project to explore the feasibility of using data from the GOES-16 and GOES-17 geostationary weather satellites to perform new atmospheric remote sensing observations, including detecting scintillation, performing radio occultation profiling, and detecting surface...
