DIRECTORATE FOR
GEOSCIENCES (GEO)

ATMOSPHERIC SCIENCES (ATM)

Supports research on the magnetized plasma envelope of the outer atmosphere including energization by 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 the waves and instabilities in the natural plasma. Also supported are ground-based observational programs at high latitudes. Theoretical research programs may include numerical simulations using nonlinear, three-dimensional plasma physics models. The analysis of data from all sources, whether ground-based or from spacecraft, is also supported.

Deadline and Target Dates:
Proposals may be submitted at any time during the year for all programs except those involving the allocation of observational and computing facilities.
