Researchers will integrate dipole and spherical geometry codes to model wave...
- This five-year, $1.286 million Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences will fund research into stormtime magnetosphere-ionosphere coupling and the enhancement of the dawnside auroral electrojet. Under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), which supports basic research in atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences to expand understanding of the integrated Earth system, the Johns Hopkins University will investigate the ionospheric current and...
- This $212,120 National Science Foundation Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) funds research into the impacts of atmospheric waves and geomagnetic disturbances on space weather conditions. Led by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in collaboration with Clemson University, Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, New Jersey Institute of Technology, and Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University from May 1, 2022 to April 30, 2025, the research will advance...
- 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...
- This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $523,833 will fund research into impacts of atmospheric waves and geomagnetic disturbances on space weather through April 2025. Under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), which supports basic research to increase understanding of the integrated Earth system, the awardee Clemson University will collaborate with Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, New Jersey Institute of Technology, and Virginia...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports research on ultra-low-frequency (ULF) waves in the Earth's inner magnetosphere during geomagnetic storms. The $415,309 award to The Johns Hopkins University aims to observationally determine whether the physical properties of symmetric ULF waves and the associated particle environment are consistent with drift compressional instability. The 3-year project (8/1/2024 - 7/31/2027) will utilize...
- This $135,000 National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports collaborative research to study the impact of solar eclipses on the ionosphere, a critical region of Earth's atmosphere that affects radio communications and navigation. The lead awardee, the Regents of the University of Colorado (a U.S. state government entity and institution of higher learning), will coordinate multi-instrument observations of ionospheric parameters during...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $106,909 Project Grant under the Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) to Augsburg University in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The funding supports a collaborative research project to investigate the propagation and dissipation of electromagnetic ion cyclotron (EMIC) waves in the Earth's magnetosphere and ionosphere. The research team will employ advanced simulation models and analyze observations from multiple satellites and ground-based observatories to understand how EMIC waves are generated, propagate, and interact with the magnetospheric and ionospheric plasma environment. This 4-year project aims to address key scientific questions about the factors influencing EMIC wave dynamics and their significance for processes like ionospheric ion heating and magnetospheric pressure regulation. The award reflects NSF's mission to expand fundamental knowledge and understanding of the integrated Earth system through basic research in atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences.
