Description:There has long been interest in knowing the shape and location of the Earth ’s magnetopause and of the standing fast-mode bow shock upstream of the Earth ’s magnetosphere. This quest for knowledge spans both the research and operations arenas. Pertinent to the latter, nowcasting and near-termforecasting are important for determining the extent to which the magnetosphere is compressed or expanded due to the in fluence of the solar wind bulk plasma and fields and the coupling to other magnetosphere-ionosphere processes with possible effects on assets. This article provides an update to aprevious article on the same topic published 15 years earlier, with focus on studies that have been conducted, the current status of nowcasting and forecasting of geophysical boundaries, and future endeavors. 1.
