DIRECTORATE FOR ATMOSPHERIC SCIENCES (ATM)
Magnetospheric Physics
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.
