This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) provides $359,725 to the University of Texas at Dallas (UTD) to conduct collaborative research on the variability of the interhemispheric asymmetry (IHA) of the equatorial ionization anomaly (EIA) in the American sector.
The key objectives of this 3-year project are to: (a) explore the variability of the IHA of the EIA across different solar cycles and elucidate its physical mechanisms, and (b)...
The University of Texas at Dallas received a $474,240 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences on September 1, 2021 to complete the project by August 31, 2026. Titled "CEDAR: Advancing Observations and Understanding of Intermediate Scale Ionospheric Irregularities and Scintillation over the United States," this award will support research to strengthen fundamental knowledge of the integrated Earth system through the...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $1.15 million Project Grant to the University of Texas at Dallas under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to develop a frequency-agile multistatic radio system for geospace imaging near the Jicamarca Radio Observatory in Peru from September 2022 to August 2027. The project aims to advance research in areas such as mesosphere and lower thermosphere dynamics, meteor science, and ionospheric irregularities through new multistatic radar experiments and...
This federal Project Grant award of $108,120 from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports a collaborative research project to characterize quiet-time equatorial plasma bubbles and their impact on radio signal scintillation. The objective is to investigate the driving mechanisms behind these plasma bubbles, which pose a significant space weather threat by disrupting various radio-based applications such as GPS, aviation, and precision agriculture. The...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports collaborative research to investigate the evolution of the global total electron content (TEC) during solar flares. The $112,514 award to the University of Texas at Arlington (UTA) aims to improve understanding and predictability of how solar flares impact the upper atmosphere and affect critical communication and navigation systems.
The research team plans to analyze global TEC data...
The University of Texas at Dallas was awarded a $216,586 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to investigate the combined effects of electromagnetic ion cyclotron and whistler mode waves on relativistic electron scattering in Earth's inner magnetosphere. The award period is from March 1, 2023 through May 31, 2024. As part of the grant, the university will use statistical observations from multiple NASA space missions to construct an...
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...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $200,000 Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to the New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology (New Mexico Tech) to develop data assimilation algorithms that will enable estimation of atmospheric drag on satellites in low-Earth orbit based on their low-resolution Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) navigation data. The project aims to improve understanding of how atmospheric density variations, particularly during space...
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...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences awarded a $407,336 Project Grant to the Regents of the University of Colorado, a U.S. state government entity and institution of higher learning, under the NSF's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). The funding will support data-driven modeling to study the day-to-day and longitudinal variability of the equatorial electrojet, a critical electrodynamic feature of the low- and mid-latitude ionosphere. Key...
