AFTER – Annotated Forbush–decrease Topological Event Recognition

A complexity-aware catalogue of Forbush decreases from multi-station neutron-monitor data.


AFTER

AFTER (Annotated Forbush–decrease Topological Event Recognition) is a support-based, complexity-aware framework for identifying and annotating FD-like depressions in multi-station neutron-monitor data.

The revised AFTER catalogue is built from ten NMDB stations at 2-minute cadence over 2018–2025.
It combines background-referenced amplitude, temporal-complexity markers, and explicit multi-station support to separate higher-confidence events from more exploratory detections.
