This $156,078 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences, under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), will fund research to advance understanding of gigantic jets (GJs). GJs are large electrical discharges that originate inside thunderstorms and connect the troposphere and lower ionosphere. The awardee, The SETI Institute, will develop a machine learning-based detection pipeline to identify thousands of GJs per year using data from the...
The National Science Foundation Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences awarded a $659,177 Project Grant to the Georgia Tech Applied Research Corporation to investigate gigantic jets (GJs), their ionospheric effects, and how they couple the troposphere and ionosphere. Under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), the award seeks to advance scientific understanding of how cloud-to-ionosphere electrical discharges known as GJs transfer charge between the lower atmosphere and ionosphere. The...
This $759,713 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will fund the development of a multi-band radio and optical lightning imager system at Duke University. The instrument will enable high-resolution, comprehensive measurements and imaging of lightning flash development, addressing key gaps in the scientific understanding of lightning initiation, expansion, and atmospheric impacts. The project will design and deliver a novel,...
