The National Science Foundation awarded a $139,000 project grant to Colorado State University's Sponsored Programs division under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) from February 1, 2023 to July 31, 2025. The university will quantify major components of the global electric circuit through data mining of electric field and radar observations from ground-based, airborne and satellite platforms. Specifically, CSU will examine electric field measurements above clouds from past field campaigns to derive relationships with remote sensing data from satellites. It will also refine definitions and uncertainties of fair-weather conditions using cloud and aerosol data from electric field observations in Alaska, Colorado and Texas to quantify downward fair-weather current. This research aims to advance understanding of electric currents in the atmosphere that impact communications and aircraft navigation. The findings could help distinguish electrified cloud types by their contributions to the global electric circuit.
