Declining or Waning

As the field of atmospheric and oceanic technology evolves, certain research areas appear to be declining in prominence. This could be due to shifts in funding, technological advancements, or changing priorities in research focus.
  1. Traditional In Situ Measurements:
    There is a noticeable decline in papers focusing solely on traditional in situ measurement techniques, such as manual weather station observations, as newer technologies and remote sensing methods become more prevalent in the field.
  2. Basic Instrument Calibration Techniques:
    Research dedicated solely to basic calibration methods for older instrumentation has decreased, likely due to the emergence of more sophisticated calibration approaches and automated systems.
  3. Single-Platform Studies:
    Papers focusing on measurements taken from single platforms (e.g., a lone buoy or a single satellite) have waned as the field shifts toward integrated multi-platform approaches that provide more comprehensive data.
  4. General Atmospheric Observational Techniques:
    Research on general observational techniques that do not incorporate advanced technologies or methodologies has seen a decline, as the journal's focus has shifted toward innovative and high-tech solutions.
