This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) provides $824,005 in funding to the New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) to support routine radio observations of solar activity using the Expanded Owens Valley Solar Array and Long Wavelength Array located at the Owens Valley Radio Observatory. The project will investigate key aspects of solar phenomena, including magnetic energy release, coronal mass ejections, solar active regions, and the solar atmosphere, to advance understanding of solar activity and space weather effects on national assets such as satellite communication networks. The funded activities include operating the solar radio telescope arrays, providing open-access science-ready data to the research community, and hosting annual workshops and data camps to train users on data analysis and interpretation. This five-year project, running from March 2025 through February 2030, leverages these world-class solar observing instruments to serve the solar physics and space weather research communities.
