This $719,982 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will support collaborative research to investigate how the breaking of mountain waves affects space weather at altitudes of 100-200 miles above the Earth's surface. The research team from Northwest Research Associates, Inc. (Nwra) will study the impact of these mountain wave-driven turbulence and large-scale waves on the formation of traveling ionospheric...
This $590,898 National Science Foundation award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund research into modeling chorus wave generation using particle-in-cell simulations. Led by New Mexico Consortium, the project aims to study chorus waves—commonly observed plasma waves in Earth's inner magnetosphere—through large-scale first-principles simulations. The simulations will use realistic magnetic field topology and plasma parameters from observations to test existing theories of...
This three-year, $223,760 National Science Foundation project grant funds research at the University of California, Los Angeles to study energetic electron interactions with oblique whistler-mode chorus waves. Under the NSF's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), which supports basic research to enhance understanding of the integrated Earth system, this award will quantitatively analyze wave-particle dynamics using numerical models. Researchers will compare simulations of oblique chorus wave...
