Class Grant and Contribution Program to Support Research, Awareness and Learning in Space Science and Technology
FY 2014-15 · 2015-02-13
Summary
This project is entitled ""Geospace Observatory Canada energetic particle precipitation model"".
The project team will develop computer-based models simulating the high-energy electrons and other charged particles that rain down into the upper atmosphere over Canada. It is important to better understand this phenomenon as these particles interfere with radio communication, and affect the atmospheric chemistry which can influence our climate. The team will use data from a variety of Canadian instrument arrays deployed across Canada to develop and test their simulations.

Program Name (French)
Programme global de subventions et contributions à l'appui de la recherche, de la sensibilisation et de l'éducation en sciences et technologies spatiales
Program Purpose
This program supports knowledge development and innovation in the CSA's priority areas while increasing the awareness and participation of Canadians in space-related disciplines and activities.
The Research Component aims to support the development of science and technology; foster the continual development of a critical mass of researchers and highly qualified people in Canada; and support information gathering and space-related studies and research pertaining to Canadian Space Agency priorities.
Program Purpose (French)
Ce programme appuie le développement des connaissances et l'innovation dans des domaines prioritaires de l'ASC et accroît la sensibilisation et la participation des Canadiens aux disciplines et aux activités liées à l'espace.
Le volet Recherche vise à soutenir le développement des sciences et des technologies, à favoriser le développement continu d'une masse critique de chercheurs et de personnes hautement qualifiées au Canada, et à appuyer la collecte d'information, la recherche et les études relatives à l'espace en tenant compte des priorités de l'ASC.

Description (French)
Le présent projet est intitulé «Modèle de précipitation des particules énergétiques de l'Observatoire géospatial canadien».
L'équipe du projet va créer des modèles informatiques simulant les électrons à haute énergie et d'autres particules chargées qui tombent sur la haute atmosphère au-dessus du Canada. Il est important de mieux comprendre ce phénomène, car ces particules nuisent aux communications radio et ont un effet sur la chimie atmosphérique, ce qui peut avoir une incidence sur notre climat. L'équipe utilisera des données provenant d'un éventail d'instruments canadiens déployés à travers le Canada pour créer leurs simulations et les mettre à l'essai.
Expected Results
