This Project Grant award of $256,279, provided by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050), aims to characterize quiet-time equatorial plasma bubbles and their impact on radio signal scintillation. The primary objectives are to investigate the driving mechanisms behind these plasma bubbles, their longitudinal, day-to-day, and seasonal variations, and the specific parameters controlling their dynamics and lifetime, as well as the resulting scintillation effects. The...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $158,689 Project Grant under its Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to The Regents of the University of Colorado in Boulder, CO. The award, which runs from December 1, 2024 to November 30, 2027, aims to characterize the day-to-day variability in the ionosphere and thermosphere during geomagnetically quiet periods. The research will utilize ground-based Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) observations, NASA's Global-scale Observations of the...
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...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) provides $109,432 to Atmospheric & Space Technology Research Associates LLC (doing business as Orion Space Solutions) to characterize whistler-mode wave properties in the plasmasphere-plasmatrough transition regions. The research aims to improve understanding of the combined effects of chorus and hiss waves on the Earth's radiation belt environment, which can impact spacecraft and aviation....
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 during...
This 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 solar eclipses across the United States. The research project aims to quantify the impact of solar eclipses on the ionosphere, a crucial region of the atmosphere that affects radio communication and navigation, and to identify the key factors driving these ionospheric...
