This $238,190 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports a collaborative research effort between the University of Colorado Denver and the University of California, Berkeley to study the lower ionosphere during the 2024 solar eclipse in the eastern United States. The researchers will make very low frequency radio observations before, during, and after the eclipse to better understand the spatial and temporal scales of ionization and...
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...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) provides $166,193 to The Johns Hopkins University to conduct collaborative research on the ionospheric density response to solar eclipses across the United States. The primary objectives are to: 1) quantify how solar eclipses impact the ionosphere's electron density and variations in the F-region height, and 2) identify the key factors driving these ionospheric responses, including reduced solar...
This $174,257 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund collaborative research to measure daily ionospheric variability and solar eclipse impacts using amateur radio HF Doppler shift receivers. Led by the University of Scranton, the project will deploy thirty GRAPE receivers across North America to study ionospheric responses to dawn, dusk, and solar eclipses in 2023 and 2024. The receivers will generate observations to answer scientific...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) provides $210,153 to Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University to conduct collaborative research on the ionospheric density response to upcoming solar eclipses in the United States. The research aims to deepen the understanding of chemical and dynamical processes in the ionosphere-thermosphere system by leveraging coordinated observations from multiple instruments, including the SuperDARN,...
This three-year, $406,141 National Science Foundation Project Grant through the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports research examining the vertical structures of ionosphere-atmosphere coupling using decadal observations and ionospheric models. Key products include analyses of reanalysis data and satellite observations from the past two decades to derive vertical electron density structures related to the solar cycle, quasi-biennial oscillation, El Niño-Southern Oscillation, and Pacific...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) provides $196,137 to The Regents of the University of California, Berkeley to characterize the physics of the interactions that drive the outflow of energized ions from the high-latitude ionosphere into near-Earth space. The research uses measurements of the energized outflowing ions, the background plasma, and the electromagnetic fields to develop an empirically derived physical model for ion...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences awarded a $407,336 Project Grant to the Regents of the University of Colorado, a U.S. state government entity and institution of higher learning, under the NSF's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). The funding will support data-driven modeling to study the day-to-day and longitudinal variability of the equatorial electrojet, a critical electrodynamic feature of the low- and mid-latitude ionosphere. Key...
This $353,992 National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant award supports the examination of ion-neutral coupling processes at high latitudes to understand how thermospheric dynamics affect the formation and evolution of ionospheric electron density structures and associated ion outflow. Led by the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), the project will utilize numerical models and observational data to address two key science questions: 1) How do...
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...
