The University of Texas at Dallas received a $540,000 Project Grant awarded April 15, 2026, by the National Science Foundation's Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). The project, "Advancing Coherent and Incoherent Scatter Radar Observations and Understanding of the Equatorial Ionosphere," will be completed by March 31, 2029. This research initiative will advance understanding of ionospheric variability and equatorial spread F (ESF) irregularities through analysis of radar observations collected at the Jicamarca Radio Observatory, located at the magnetic equator in Peru. The primary deliverables include two-dimensional ultra-high frequency (UHF) radar observations of ESF generated using the Advanced Modular Incoherent Scatter Radar System (AMISR-14), a 14-panel radar configuration, combined with collocated equatorial drift measurements from a new medium power mode of the Jicamarca very high frequency (VHF) incoherent scatter radar system. These research outputs and enhanced understanding of late-night and post-midnight ESF irregularities and their response to geospace conditions will support improved reliability of communication, navigation, and remote sensing systems; enhance space weather prediction capabilities; and contribute to national security and workforce development objectives.Federal Project Grant Award Summary
