The CEDAR program funds research to better understand the upper layers of Earth's atmosphere and how they interact with both the lower atmosphere and solar inputs. This includes studying atmospheric chemistry and dynamics using observations and models, and encourages innovative methods like AI and open science practices.
Who it's for: This grant is for researchers and institutions interested in atmospheric science, particularly those studying the upper atmosphere's behavior and interactions. It is ideal for projects involving both theoretical and observational approaches, including those using AI and open science methods.
