This federal Project Grant award of $141,789, provided by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050), supports research into the effects of ionospheric density irregularities on high-frequency (HF) radio wave propagation. The project, led by researchers at The Johns Hopkins University, aims to investigate how solar and geomagnetic activities influence ground-based HF communications, analyze small-scale density irregularities in the ionosphere, and evaluate how HF waves...

This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) provides $210,153 to Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University to conduct collaborative research on the ionospheric density response to solar eclipses across the United States. The research project aims to quantify the impact of solar eclipses on the ionosphere, a crucial region of the atmosphere that affects radio communication and navigation, and to identify the key factors driving these ionospheric...

This $119,927 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports research investigating the effects of ionospheric density irregularities on high-frequency (HF) radio wave propagation. The research aims to improve understanding of ground-based HF communications, which are critical for long-distance communications, emergency situations, and various civilian and military applications. The project will utilize satellite data, HF...
