Coupling, Energetics and Dynamics of Atmospheric Regions

Coupling, Energetics and Dynamics of Atmospheric Regions (CEDAR) is a US NSF funded program targeting understanding of middle and upper atmospheric dynamics. CEDAR is of relevance to space weather, space physics, and global change.[1]

CEDAR involves researchers from institutions within and without the United States, although the funding is almost exclusively directed to US projects. Researchers are funded for observational, theoretical, and simulation work.[2] There is a significant focus on student activities and CEDAR has been involved a large number of graduate students in front-line research.

CEDAR programs produce a significant amount of data which is accessible via the CEDAR Data Bases, a number of Virtual Observatories (VOs), and the web pages of principal investigators (PIs).[3]
