New Jersey Institute of Technology received a $538,270 Project Grant awarded July 15, 2026, by the National Science Foundation's Office of Integrative Activities under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). The collaborative research initiative will reconstruct spatially resolved historical maps of F10.7 solar radio emissions—a key proxy for solar ultraviolet radiation affecting Earth's upper atmosphere—by combining archival solar observations dating to 1907 with modern machine learning techniques. The project addresses critical gaps in solar-climate data by employing Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) and Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) to synthesize daily F10.7 images using inputs from century-long solar imagery archives, including data from the Kodaikanal Solar Observatory and contemporary observations from the Expanded Owens Valley Solar Array (EOVSA). The research will produce reconstructed century-scale F10.7 flux datasets that illuminate long-term trends in solar variability and its role in Earth's atmospheric changes, while addressing two foundational scientific questions regarding the correlation between solar features (such as sunspots) and spatially resolved F10.7 flux across solar cycles. The project bridges solar physics, heliophysics, and artificial intelligence applications in space weather research and includes integrated educational components providing research and training opportunities for graduate students. Work is scheduled for completion by June 30, 2029.Federal Project Grant Award Summary
