The phrase "analogue study" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts where you are referring to a study that uses analog methods or comparisons rather than digital or quantitative approaches.
Example: "The analogue study provided valuable insights into the behavior of the subjects in a natural setting."
Alternatives: "comparative study" or "qualitative study."
A little more boredom would have been welcome during an analogue study conducted in 1999 by the Institute of Biomedical Problems, in Moscow.
This is a special, one-off opportunity, and could be the most useful and reliable Mars Analogue study to date.
A recently completed analogue study was the ESA Mars500 mission which, although useful, could not provide the element of true isolation no matter how real it may have felt.
Having identified this new expedition as a reliable analogue study, I named it "White Mars" — inspired by the science fiction writer Kim Stanley Stann) Robinson's Mars trilogy, which described the terraforming of Mars through different Red, Green and Blue stages.
We conclude that our outcrop analogue study fails to predict important properties of the reservoir (such as permeability and porosity).
We test the potential of an outcrop analogue study to minimize uncertainties in prediction of the rock properties of a fractured reservoir in the Upper Rhine Graben.
At the South Pole, the elevation and poor sleep hygiene can result in the "big eye," or insomnia (thus sleep studies are often incorporated into analogue studies).
To explore these unknowns, analogue studies can play a key role.
Similarly to spaceflight, ground-based analogue studies have shown that prolonged confinement (e.g. in submariners) can result in loss of muscle strength in only 2 months [7].
Conversely, outcrop analogue studies have a higher potential to produce meaningful results in homogenous areas such as large basins that do not have complex internal structures.
We propose that analogue studies are important, but they must be treated with care when attempting to predict the controlling parameters of a fractured reservoir.
