Grant: Class Grant and Contribution Program to Support Research, Awareness and Learning in Space Science and Technology

University of Saskatchewan|University of Saskatchewan

$148,020.00

ULF wave interactions with high-latitude ionosphere

FY 2023-24 · 2024-03-24

Summary
This project aims at discovering new knowledge about the contribution of large-scale ultra-low frequency (ULF) waves to energy, momentum, and mass transfer in near-Earth’s space. This objective will be achieved by utilizing the advanced diagnostic capabilities of Borealis, a digital SuperDARN radar system designed in Canada with world-leading space weather radar engineering, providing unmatched temporal resolution and spatial coverage.

Description
This project aims at discovering new knowledge about the contribution of large-scale ultra-low frequency (ULF) waves to energy, momentum, and mass transfer in near-Earth’s space. This objective will be achieved by utilizing the advanced diagnostic capabilities of Borealis, a digital SuperDARN radar system designed in Canada with world-leading space weather radar engineering, providing unmatched temporal resolution and spatial coverage.
Description (French)
Ce projet vise à découvrir de nouvelles connaissances sur la contribution sur une grande échelle des ondes ultra-basses fréquences (ULF) au transfert d’énergie, de quantité de mouvement et de masse dans l’espace proche de la Terre. Cet objectif sera atteint en utilisant les capacités de diagnostic avancées de Borealis, un système radar numérique SuperDARN conçu au Canada avec une ingénierie de pointe de radar de météorologie spatiale, offrant une résolution temporelle et une couverture spatiale inégalées.
Expected Results
The Research component of the program provides financial support to organizations to conduct space related research and development in priority areas. It will support targeted knowledge development and innovation to sustain and enhance the Canadian capacity to use space to address national needs and priorities in the future.
Expected Results (French)
Le volet Recherche du programme offre aux organisations une aide financière qui leur permettra de mener leurs activités de recherche et développement spatiales dans des secteurs prioritaires. Ce volet appuiera le développement des connaissances et l’innovation dans les domaines ciblés de manière à soutenir et à accroître la capacité du Canada d’utiliser l’espace pour répondre aux besoins et aux priorités du pays dans le futur.
