ROSES ID: NNH11ZDA001N Selection Year: 2012 Duration: 5 years
Program Element: NSF Partnership
Principal Investigator: Spiro Antiochos
Affiliation(s): University of Michigan
Summary:
NASA Goddard Space Flight Center and the University of Michigan propose a collaborative research program that attacks one of the most important problems in space weather: understanding the giant explosions of solar magnetic field and plasma known as eruptive flares/coronal mass ejections (CMEs). Our strategy is to develop a second- generation Strategic Capability that will enable both our Team and, more importantly, the outside community to test theories of solar eruptions against observed events, and to work towards a predictive capability. The distinguishing feature of our program is that it is modeled after a NASA instrument or NSF facility program in that it will enable the whole community to attack the solar eruptions problem with state-of-art modeling and analysis, just as NASA space and NSF ground-based instruments provide the community with state-of-art observations. As with a hardware program, we will use the Capability to perform a Team science program, but the bulk of the science results ultimately will be obtained by the outside community. Furthermore, our science modeling capability will serve as a prototype for the eventual development of first-principles based operational tools.Performance Year | Reference | Investigation Type | Actions |
