The synoptic maps of Br from HMI observations
Abstract
The vector magnetic field measurement can, in principal, give the "true" radial component of the magnetic field. We prepare 4 types of synoptic maps of the radial photospheric magnetic field, from the vector magnetic field data disambiguated by means of the minimum energy method developed at NWRA/CoRA, the vector data determined under the potential-field acute assumption, and the vector data determined under the radial-acute assumption, and the standard line-of-sight magnetogram. The models of the global corona, the MHD and the PFSS, are applied to different types of maps. Although the three-dimensional structures of the global coronal magnetic field with different maps are similar and overall agreeing well the AIA full-disk images, noticeable differences among the model outputs are found especially in the high latitude regions. We will show details of these test maps and discuss the issues in determining the radial component of the photospheric magnetic field near the poles and limb.
