This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) project grant award of $353,992 to the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) will examine how changes in the upper atmosphere, particularly the thermosphere, affect the formation and evolution of high-latitude electron density structures and associated ion outflow. The project will utilize numerical models of the coupled thermosphere and ionosphere, as well as analysis of ionospheric data from radars and the Global...
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 $424,952 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports collaborative research on the linkages between tropical deep convection, planetary-scale stationary waves, and extratropical storm track activity. The primary objectives are to demonstrate these linkages, identify the underlying physical mechanisms, and assess how well climate and subseasonal-to-seasonal prediction models capture these processes. The research will be conducted by...
