Study of Earth System Dynamics with a Constellation of Potential Field Missions (DynamicEarth) (SPP 1788)

Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG)
The key to successfully investigating the range of topics in this programme is a multidisciplinary approach. If possible, successful proposals should cover two of the main fields of work to emphasise the interdisciplinarity of this programme. The focus of work will be on the following areas:
o geomagnetic field: study of its dynamics and evolution; analysing its different contributions, including the Earth's core, mantle induction, lithosphere, and oceanic currents; geodynamo simulations and their link to the observations
o gravity field: global variations of mass and mass balances, interaction and exchange mechanisms (hydrological cycle, ice melting in the polar regions, sea-level fluctuations, groundwater, relationship with anthropogenic influences, tides of oceans and atmosphere), length-of day variation, and high-resolution models of the gravity field
o current systems of ionosphere/magnetosphere: ionospheric current systems from low to high latitudes, near-Earth verification of magnetospheric currents, field-aligned currents (FACs) - coupling of ionosphere and magnetosphere, contributions of ionospheric currents to the energy budget of the atmosphere
o thermosphere/ionosphere: quantification of solar contributions (EUV, solar wind) and influence of the lower and middle atmosphere (waves and tides) on the variability of the upper atmosphere, interaction between ionospheric plasma and neutral gas, understanding and predicting ionospheric and atmospheric irregularities from equatorial to polar latitudes (e.g. signal disturbances in communication and navigation)
