The National Science Foundation's Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences awarded $1.0M to the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) for the period August 1, 2026 through July 31, 2031. This project advances atmospheric sciences through the development and application of Global Positioning System (GPS) radio occultation (RO) technology to measure atmospheric temperature, water vapor content, and ionospheric electric charge. The award supports three primary service delivery areas: (1) processing, hosting, and serving RO data for atmospheric research communities; (2) developing improved algorithms for RO data processing, including algorithms for detecting ionospheric disturbances relevant to space weather forecasting; and (3) conducting atmospheric research utilizing RO data to examine phenomena such as hurricanes and atmospheric turbulence. No subawards are planned under this award. The project delivers research outputs and services that enhance weather forecasting capabilities and contribute to long-term atmospheric records essential for building preparedness against weather-related disasters. Additionally, the funding supports workforce development and education initiatives, including summer colloquia on radio occultation and postdoctoral associate support. The absolute calibration, all-weather coverage, and high vertical resolution characteristics of GPS RO data position this research as a valuable resource for fundamental atmospheric science and operational weather prediction, maximizing the value and utility of this satellite-derived observational technology across research and operational forecasting domains.Federal Project Grant Award Summary
