This $378,011 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences will fund controlled whistler mode wave injection experiments at the High Altitude Auroral Research Program (HAARP) facility in Alaska. The project aims to understand how certain radio waves launched into space can be amplified by energetic particles, which is critical for improving models of space weather phenomena and radiation belt dynamics. The award supports graduate and...
This $152,033 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports fundamental research to understand the physical mechanisms controlling electron energetics in the polar cap ionosphere. The project, led by the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), combines theory, numerical modeling, and analysis of radar and satellite observations to address key science questions, including: 1) What physical processes explain the observed electron...
This $228,262 National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) award to the University of Alaska Fairbanks (UAF) will investigate the electrodynamic properties of meso-scale auroral forms to improve understanding of multi-scale ionospheric electrodynamics. The research aims to discover new morphologies of auroral forms using advanced computer vision techniques, characterize their electrodynamic features, and analyze their occurrence patterns during geomagnetic activity. The...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant award of $294,330 to Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University will fund collaborative research on short-wave infrared (SWIR) imaging of auroral and airglow emissions. The key objectives are to: Investigate the role of Alfvén waves in generating auroral arcs and forms, as compared to monoenergetic particle influx. Measure metastable helium (He) emissions at 1083 nm to study exospheric density variability over...
