Session 10

SHINE Workshop, June 23-27, 2008

Vector Magnetic Data Input into

Global Models (Session 10) Chairs: Ilia Roussev and Marc DeRosa

Date: THIS AFTERNOON! (June 23)

Coming soon from SDO/HMI: vector B, full-disk high-cadence, from space, continuously.... What are you going to do with it???

Session 10

SHINE Workshop, June 23-27, 2008

In this session, we will explore some aspects encountered when producing and using such data. Key questions include:

What uncertainties lie in the inversion and 180-degree disambiguation processes used to generate vector magnetograms?

What effects do these have on the calculation of physical quantities, such as current densities and helicities?

What should be avoided when using vector magnetogram data?

Time permitting, we will discuss some ideas related to the incorporation of solar vector magnetogram data into computational models of the solar corona.
