About this opportunity
The National Science Foundation is seeking applicants for the Coupling, Energetics, and Dynamics of Atmospheric Regions (CEDAR) program, a broad-based research initiative focused on understanding the behavior of atmospheric regions from the middle atmosphere through the thermosphere, ionosphere, and exosphere. The program aims to explore the coupling, energetics, chemistry, and dynamics of these regions on regional and global scales, examining the sources of perturbations that propagate upward from the lower atmosphere as well as the impact of solar radiation and particle inputs from above. The research activities will combine observations from ground-based and space-based platforms with theory and modeling. Evaluation criteria will likely emphasize the scientific merit, innovation, and potential impact of the proposed work.
The CEDAR program is funded through the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050), which supports fundamental research and educational initiatives across various Earth science disciplines. Recent federal grant awards under this program have ranged from $79,139 to $4,893,936, with typical project periods of 1-5 years. 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 Coupling, Energetics, and Dynamics of Atmospheric Regions (CEDAR) program is a broad-based research program with the goal of understanding the behavior of atmospheric regions from the middle atmosphere upward through the thermosphere and ionosphere into the exosphere in terms of coupling, energetics, chemistry, and dynamics on regional and global scales. These processes are related to the sources of perturbations that propagate upward from the lower atmosphere as well as to solar radiation and particle inputs from above. The activities within this program combine observations from ground based and space based platforms, theory and modeling.
