This $187,713 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 goal is to 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 network will leverage...

The National Science Foundation Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences awarded Global Atmospheric Technologies And Sciences, Inc. a $767,973 Project Grant under the Geosciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.050) to conduct research related to mesosphere and lower thermosphere dynamics studies. The grant funding will support studies employing the Southern Argentina Agile Meteor Radar (SAAMER), correlative measurements, and modeling from January 1, 2022 to December 31, 2024....
This $359,936 Project Grant award, funded by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050), supports a three-year observational program to measure winds and temperatures in the thermosphere near the ionospheric peak density from multiple sites along the eastern seaboard of the Americas. The project uses a network of Fabry-Perot interferometers to provide high-precision, real-time data on thermospheric dynamics and conditions that impact critical communication, navigation,...
This $359,645 project grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund collaborative research to observe and model primary and secondary gravity waves over the Andes region. The primary objectives are to: (a) improve understanding of both primary and secondary gravity wave dynamics, and (b) advance knowledge of turbulence and instability processes in the atmosphere and other geophysical fluids. The project plans to integrate satellite,...
This Project Grant award, valued at $100,054, was provided by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) to the University of Illinois to operate and maintain the Mid-Latitude All-Sky Imaging Network for Geophysical Observation (MANGO) network. The MANGO network, established through a prior NSF program, consists of 15 all-sky imagers and 4 Fabry-Perot interferometers distributed across the continental United States. This 5-year project will enable the University of...
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 $237,873 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support the development of the Autonomous Remote Geospace Observation and Research Array (AURORA) - a next-generation system of small, low-power, autonomous, multi-instrument, adaptive, ground-based geospace observation arrays. These arrays are designed to fill gaps in existing ground-based instrument arrays in high-latitude and polar regions, enabling year-round observations in...
This $719,982 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will support collaborative research to investigate how the breaking of mountain waves affects space weather at altitudes of 100-200 miles above the Earth's surface. The research team from Northwest Research Associates, Inc. (Nwra) will study the impact of these mountain wave-driven turbulence and large-scale waves on the formation of traveling ionospheric...
