Sri International was awarded $540,000 in Project Grant funding from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) for the period April 1, 2026 through March 31, 2029. The project delivers fundamental laboratory research investigating vibrational-to-electronic energy transfer mechanisms in the Earth's upper atmosphere, specifically examining hydroxyl radical (OH) interactions with ground state oxygen atoms. The research produces state-specific rate coefficients essential for accurately interpreting the OH Meinel band emission observed in nightglow remote-sensing observations, thereby improving atmospheric models used for satellite operations, navigation systems, and space weather monitoring. The project generates scientific knowledge and trained personnel to advance understanding of molecular energy transfer processes on a fundamental level, with applications extending to combustion chemistry and astrophysical research. Deliverables include peer-reviewed research findings, experimental data on energy transfer pathways, and workforce development through postdoctoral researcher and undergraduate student training. This research directly supports the Geosciences program's mission to strengthen the national scientific enterprise by expanding fundamental knowledge of Earth's integrated atmospheric system through laboratory experimentation and theoretical advancement.
