The Space Physics Department is offering this grant to support cutting-edge research in magnetospheric physics. This grant is for the purpose of advancing understanding of Earth’s outer atmosphere, focusing on its magnetized plasma envelope. Supported areas include energization by the solar wind, the origin of geomagnetic storms and substorms, population by solar and ionospheric sources, and the origin of electric fields. It also covers the coupling between the magnetosphere, ionosphere, and atmosphere, as well as natural plasma waves and instabilities. Research may involve ground-based observations, laboratory experiments, theoretical modeling, numerical simulations using various codes, and the comprehensive analysis of data from both ground-based and spacecraft sources.

| Description: | Supports research on the magnetized plasma envelope of the outer atmosphere, including energization by the solar wind; the origin of geomagnetic storms and substorms; the population by solar and ionospheric sources; the origin of electric fields; the coupling among the magnetosphere, ionosphere, and atmosphere; and waves and instabilities in the natural plasma. Also supported are ground-based observational programs at high latitudes and laboratory experiments applicable to the geospace environment. Theoretical research programs may include numerical simulations using a variety of MHD, hybrid and particle codes. The analysis of data from all sources, whether ground-based or from spacecraft, is also supported. |
