Declining or Waning
- Historical Geomagnetic Event Analysis:
Research focusing on the historical impacts of geomagnetic storms has decreased, possibly due to a shift towards real-time monitoring and forecasting methods that prioritize current data over historical analysis. - Basic Empirical Models of Ionospheric Behavior:
There has been a decline in the publication of straightforward empirical models for ionospheric behavior, as more researchers are now favoring complex machine learning and data assimilation approaches that offer enhanced accuracy. - Non-Real-Time Data Assimilation Techniques:
The focus on non-real-time data assimilation techniques has diminished, with a growing emphasis on real-time applications and operational forecasting models in space weather research. - Single-Instrument Observational Studies:
The frequency of studies relying on single-instrument observations has waned, as the field increasingly values multi-instrumental and integrated observational approaches to provide comprehensive insights. - Static Models of Radiation Belt Dynamics:
Static models for predicting radiation belt dynamics are becoming less common, as researchers shift towards dynamic, data-driven models that can adapt to real-time changes in space weather conditions.
