This $120,000 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports research into gigantic jets (GJs), large electrical discharges that couple the troposphere and ionosphere. Duke University will construct climatologies of GJs by developing a machine learning classifier to detect them by the thousands using data from the Geostationary Lightning Mapper. Validation will incorporate ground-based radio networks to filter non-lightning events and determine...
This $188,835 Project Grant award, made by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), will support research to determine how the breaking of mountain waves affects space weather approximately 100-200 miles above the Earth's surface. The award will fund a collaborative research effort by The Johns Hopkins University to: 1) Characterize the gravity wave characteristics and sources of concentric traveling ionospheric disturbances over the continental U.S. and...
