This $473,439 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Integrative Activities program (CFDA 47.083) will support the development of a new Geospace and Middle Atmosphere Lidar (GEOMAL) system at the University of Alaska Fairbanks (UAF). The GEOMAL lidar will be installed at the Poker Flat Research Range in Alaska to conduct interdisciplinary research on the polar geospace and middle atmosphere. Key research objectives include studying atmospheric waves, dynamic coupling...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) has awarded a $701,417 Cooperative Agreement to Stony Brook University under the Geosciences (CFDA 47.050) program. The funding will support the inclusion of the Multi-function Airborne Raman Lidar (MARLI) and Airborne Doppler Lidar (ADL) systems into the NSF's Community Instruments and Facilities (CIF) program. These advanced lidar systems can provide simultaneous measurements of water vapor, temperature, wind, aerosols, and clouds in the planetary boundary...
This $276,085 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will establish a distributed network of meteor radars and optical instruments in the mid-latitudes of South America. The goal is to provide continuous measurements of upper atmospheric winds and nighttime wave perturbations in the mesosphere and thermosphere, enabling multi-point observations to resolve detailed four-dimensional structures of small-scale waves. The project will...

The National Science Foundation awarded a $311,267 Project Grant to the New Jersey Institute of Technology under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to acquire a state-of-the-art Fabry-Perot interferometer. The interferometer will be used to measure upper atmosphere winds and temperatures for nightglow and aurora emissions through observations of helium, oxygen, and hydroxyl emissions. These unprecedented measurements will advance understanding of thermospheric winds and temperatures under...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences awarded a $126,139 Project Grant to the University of Virginia to advance research on measuring atmospheric turbulence and wind behavior using commercial off-the-shelf multi-rotor drone technology. The 12-month project, which runs from July 15, 2023 to June 30, 2024, aims to investigate the accuracy of drone-based turbulence measurements and how accuracy varies with drone size and weight. The work will be...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences, under the Geosciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.050), provides $273,725 to the University of South Carolina from August 15, 2022 to July 31, 2025. The funding will support research to improve understanding of interactions between mesoscale and microscale flows in the stable boundary layer over shallow terrain under nighttime conditions. Researchers will analyze data collected through the...
Colorado State University was awarded a $297,959 project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences. The grant falls under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), which supports basic research in the atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences to strengthen the national scientific enterprise. Specifically, the August 2021 award will fund the Colorado State University project "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: ELEMENTS: THE LROSE SCIENCE GATEWAY LIDAR/RADAR...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant award in the amount of $353,715 will fund a collaborative research project to study the turbulence in the stratified layer at the air-water interface, as driven by waves and wind. The project will utilize a combination of controlled laboratory experiments and advanced numerical simulations (large-eddy simulations) to test the hypothesis that coupling between waves and wind-driven currents is necessary to...
This National Science Foundation award provides $353,470 to the Desert Research Institute, a division of the Nevada System of Higher Education, to develop new technology and computer-generated predictions to improve the prediction of derecho windstorms. Funded under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), the two-year project will create models and 4D visualizations synthesizing atmospheric conditions conducive to long-lasting and devastating derechos. By better representing the jet stream,...
