- This $713,805 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support the development of an advanced, low-cost ionospheric scintillation and total electron content (TEC) monitor. The instrument will provide high-resolution measurements comparable to state-of-the-art commercial monitors, but at a fraction of the cost. This will enable the deployment of dense monitoring networks to improve understanding of atmospheric disturbances related to events...
- This Project Grant award of $320,709 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports research to investigate the correlation between quiet-time ionosphere day-to-day variability and quiet-time thermosphere composition day-to-day variability over the American continent. The project aims to characterize how these quiet-time variabilities impact one another, which is essential for effective space weather forecasting. The research utilizes ground-based...
- 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 National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant award of $351,460 to Cornell University will support a collaborative research project investigating natural irregularities in the Earth's ionosphere at altitudes near the edge of space. The 3-year project, awarded on August 15, 2025, will utilize radars at Cornell and Clemson University, along with other regional instruments, to study the causes and effects of these ionospheric irregularities, which can impact...
- 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 $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...
- This $597,424 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support a collaborative research effort led by Trustees of Boston University to unveil the hidden dynamics of the auroral ionosphere using AI-based sensor fusion. The research aims to improve understanding of the ionized outer atmosphere's impact on critical radio-frequency signals used for communication, radar, and GPS systems, particularly during periods of elevated solar activity at...
- The National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) awarded a $291,289 project grant to Clemson University on Aug 15, 2025 for the collaborative research project "Subauroral Atmospheric and Ionospheric Dynamics at the Edge of Space". This project will investigate natural irregularities in the Earth's ionosphere at altitudes of about 100 km that affect radio wave propagation and space-based operational systems. The research will use radars, GNSS receivers, and other...
- This $169,918 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports research to characterize the day-to-day variability in the Earth's ionosphere and thermosphere during quiet geomagnetic periods.
