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 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 $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 $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...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $244,218 Project Grant under the Geosciences (CFDA 47.050) program to The Regents of the University of California, doing business as University of California, Berkeley, to study the lower ionosphere during the 2024 solar eclipse in the eastern United States. This collaborative project between UC Denver and UC Berkeley will use very low frequency (VLF) and extremely low frequency (ELF) remote sensing techniques to observe the spatial and temporal...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $120,859 Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to The Johns Hopkins University to characterize the effect of substorms on the equatorial electrojet (EEJ). The research will investigate how the EEJ, an electric current in the ionosphere, varies in response to substorms under different conditions of longitude, local time, season, and solar flux. The methodology leverages observational data and statistical analysis, utilizing...
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...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $224,954 will fund research to measure daily ionospheric variability and solar eclipse impacts using amateur radio HF Doppler shift receivers. Over the two-year period from January 2023 to December 2025, the awardee Case Western Reserve University will collaborate with the Hamsci amateur radio community on a project called CEDAR. Thirty Hamsci GRAPE receivers will be deployed across North America to study ionospheric responses to dawn, dusk,...
This $141,789 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports collaborative research at The Johns Hopkins University to investigate the effects of ionospheric density irregularities on high-frequency (HF) radio wave propagation. The research aims to improve understanding of ground-based HF communications, which have applications in international broadcasting, aircraft/military operations, and emergency situations. Key aspects of...
