This federal Project Grant award of $141,789, provided by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050), supports research into the effects of ionospheric density irregularities on high-frequency (HF) radio wave propagation. The project, led by researchers at The Johns Hopkins University, aims to investigate how solar and geomagnetic activities influence ground-based HF communications, analyze small-scale density irregularities in the ionosphere, and evaluate how HF waves...
The National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) has awarded a $333,016 Project Grant to Andrews University in Berrien Springs, Michigan. This 3-year collaborative research project, titled "CEDAR--Effects of Ionospheric Density Irregularities on High-Frequency Radio Wave Propagation," aims to investigate the impact of ionospheric density fluctuations on the propagation of high-frequency (HF) radio waves. The research will utilize satellite data, HF amateur radio...
This $165,476 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will fund the deployment and operation of the Ham Radio Science Citizen Investigation (HAMSCI) Personal Space Weather Station Network. The project will establish a network of thirty standardized space weather monitoring stations capable of observing high frequency (HF) radio signals, very low frequency transmissions, and the geomagnetic field. Additionally, ten GPS-disciplined amateur radio...
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 is a National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant award totaling $210,124 to the University of Scranton. The award is for the "Collaborative Research: DASI Track 2: Deployment and Operations of the Ham Radio Science Citizen Investigation (HAMSCI) Personal Space Weather Station Network" project. The key products and services under this grant include: Deploying 30 standardized stations across the U.S. and Canada to observe high-frequency...
This Project Grant award of $210,153 was provided by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) to Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University. The funding supports a collaborative research project to study the impact of solar eclipses on the ionosphere, a crucial region of the atmosphere that affects radio communication and navigation. The key objectives are to: 1) quantify eclipse-driven changes in ionospheric electron density and 2) identify the controlling factors, such...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant award of $180,225 provides funding to the New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) from January 1, 2025 to December 31, 2028 to develop and deploy a network of 30 standardized Personal Space Weather Station (PSWS) instruments. The PSWS network will enable researchers to investigate local and continental-scale space weather effects caused by phenomena such as solar flares, geomagnetic storms, and traveling...
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 National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant award to The Aerospace Corporation, worth $108,120, aims to characterize quiet-time equatorial plasma bubbles that cause scintillation on radio signals. The project will investigate the driving mechanisms behind these plasma bubbles and their impact on communication and navigation systems that rely on radio signals, such as GPS, across a range of government, commercial, and civilian applications. The...
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...
