This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) provides $388,770 to the New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) from November 1, 2024 to October 31, 2027. The project will exploit high-resolution plasma line observations from the Arecibo radar to significantly increase the number of available photoelectron measurements in the ionosphere. The research aims to better understand the interactions between photoelectrons and plasma, and will produce altitude-resolved measurements of the photoelectron distribution that will be made publicly available. The project supports a graduate student and undergraduates at NJIT, and will help broaden awareness of Arecibo's legacy as a unique, world-class instrument. No sub-awards are planned under this grant.
