On 24 March 2024, monitoring systems recorded a sharp suppression of cosmic rays (a Forbush decrease). Yet, the recovery was so rapid and anomalous that it tricked standard algorithms into sounding a false Ground-Level Enhancement (GLE) alarm.

This open-access study, led by our partners at FMI, investigates exactly what happened.

For ALBATROS, this analysis is crucial. To build reliable aviation safety tools, we must teach our models not just to detect threats, but to distinguish them from complex anomalies that can cause disruptive false positives.
