Magnetogram Synthesis - A Vital Data Analysis Component of A Space Weather Prediction Infrastructure
We propose to develop a toolkit for synthesis of solar magnetogram data. The toolkit will take both line-of-sight and vector magnetogram data from all available sources, both ground based and satellite. It will craft the optimal field and surface flow solutions consistent with the data, for user defined surface grids at times identified by the user. The Space Weather community needs time dependent models of solar active regions. A wealth of new data sources, particularly vector magnetogram data, is about to become available to facilitate this effort. However no tool exist which allows the modelers to analyse all the available data and craft accurate and physically consistent boundary conditions for their models. Our proposed tool will fill this gap. We will develop it as an application of the KAMELEON data formating and interpolation toolkit which has been developed by the CCMC.
