The CEDAR Program is offering this grant to significantly enhance the understanding of atmospheric regions, from the middle atmosphere through the exosphere. This grant is for research focused on the intricate coupling, energetics, chemistry, and dynamics that govern these layers on both regional and global scales. The program aims to explore how these processes are influenced by perturbations ascending from the lower atmosphere and by solar radiation and particle inputs from space. Supported activities include combining observations from ground-based and space-based platforms with theoretical analysis and advanced modeling, fostering a comprehensive approach to atmospheric behavior.

| Description: | 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. |
