This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will provide $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 photoelectron observations available to the research community. The primary outputs will be altitude-resolved measurements of the photoelectron distribution in...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) awarded a $129,863 Project Grant to the New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) for the "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: CEDAR--SHORT WAVE INFRARED IMAGING OF THE MEINEL 0-0 AURORAL AND THE METASTABLE HELIUM 1083 NM AIRGLOW EMISSIONS FOR AURORAL PHYSICS AND AERONOMY STUDIES" project. The funding will support research to investigate the role of Alfvén waves in generating auroral arcs and measure metastable helium...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award, under the 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 in the United States. The key objectives are to: 1) quantify how solar eclipses impact the ionosphere's electron density, including variations in the F-region height and ionospheric conditions, and 2) identify the relative importance of factors like...
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 $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 $294,330 Project Grant was awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) to Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, Inc. in Daytona Beach, FL. The grant is for a collaborative research project titled "CEDAR--Short Wave Infrared Imaging of the Meinel 0-0 Auroral and the Metastable Helium 1083 nm Airglow Emissions for Auroral Physics and Aeronomy Studies." The project aims to investigate the role of Alfvén waves in generating auroral arcs and...
This $276,085 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will establish a distributed network of meteor radars and optical instruments in the mid-latitudes of South America. The network will provide continuous measurements of upper atmospheric winds and nighttime wave perturbations in the mesosphere and thermosphere, enabling multi-point observations to resolve detailed four-dimensional structures of small-scale waves. This project will...
This $430,427 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences will support a collaborative research project involving Dartmouth College, the University of Alaska Fairbanks, and SRI International. The project, titled "CEDAR: Swarm Over Poker 2023 - An Auroral System-Science Campaign Exemplar of Archiving and Sharing Heterogeneously-Derived Data Products", will explore and develop a new data infrastructure through the...
This $201,941 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports a collaborative research project at Clemson University to investigate the electrodynamic properties of meso-scale auroral forms. The key objectives are to: 1) determine the distinct morphological characteristics of meso-scale auroral forms using computer vision techniques, 2) analyze the electric fields, energy fluxes, and other electrodynamic properties of these auroral...
