About this opportunity
The National Science Foundation's Aeronomy Program seeks proposals for fundamental research to understand phenomena related to the mesosphere, thermosphere, and ionosphere of the Earth's atmosphere. The program aims to expand knowledge about processes of ionization, recombination, chemical reactions, photo emission, and energy/momentum transport within and between these regions, as well as their coupling to the stratosphere and magnetosphere. The Coupling, Energetics, and Dynamics of Atmospheric Regions (CEDAR) program is a key component, focusing on understanding short-term and long-term atmospheric changes through comprehensive observational, theoretical, and modeling efforts. Applicants of any type are eligible, and proposals will be evaluated based on their scientific merit, broader impacts, and alignment with the program's research objectives.
Award amounts for this program can vary substantially, with recent grants ranging from $79,139 to $4,893,936 and typically spanning 1-5 year project periods. The work is predominantly performed at academic facilities, field sites, scientific observatories, and research vessels across the United States, with opportunities for interdisciplinary and international collaboration.
Synopsis
The Aeronomy Program supports research from the mesosphere to the outer reaches of the thermosphere and all regions of the Earth's ionosphere. The Aeronomy Program seeks to understand phenomena of ionization, recombination, chemical reaction, photo emission, and the transport of energy, and momentum within and between these regions.The program also supports research into the coupling of this global system to the stratosphere below and magnetosphere above and the plasma physics of phenomena manifested in the coupled ionosphere-magnetosphere system, including the effects of high-power radio wave modification. The Coupling, Energetics, and Dynamics of Atmospheric Regions (CEDAR) Program aims to understand changes in the atmosphere over short and long time scales. CEDAR is consistent with the recommendations and goals of the NAS Decadal Survey "Solar and Space Physics: A Science for a Technological Society". A primary goal of CEDAR is to explain how energy is transferred between atmospheric regions by combining a comprehensive observational program with theoretical and empirical modeling efforts. A data base of CEDAR observations is maintained for community use. The annual CEDAR Workshop attracts over 300 scientists including a large number of graduate students and as well as many international collaborators.
