  1. Synoptic Maps of Magnetic Field from MDI Magnetograms: polar field interpolation. Y. Liu, J. T. Hoeksema, X. P. Zhao, R. M. Larson – Stanford University yliu@solar.stanford.edu

  2. Interpolation of the polar regions • 1D cubic spline interpolation (Xuepu’s method) • Potential field method (Xuepu’s method) • Modified 1D cubic spline interpolation (smooth) • Polar field model method: B=Bp*cos(colatitude)^8 (suggested by many others) • Using observed polar field data. • Select the synoptic charts when the polar regions are well observed (generally one synoptic chart per year for one pole region); • Transform the data into the polarview plane; • Use a least-square-based algorithm to do a surface fitting (algorithm and code are from Rasmus); • Transform the fitting data into the Carrington coordinate; • Thus we have one modeled polar field distribution per year; • Using 1D cubic spline interpolation to fill in the missing-data areas of the synoptic maps based on the modeled polar field data. • 2D interpolation (least-square-based algorithm from Rasmus) • Flux transport equation based method.

  9. Test for Rescaling Scheme • Modeled IMF from PFSS model: • Blue line: modeled IMF from original MDI synoptic charts; • Green line: modeled IMF from rescaled MDI synoptic charts based on Ulrich et al (2002) & Berger & Lites (2002) [delta^-1 = 0.611*(2.61-0.64Sin^2(rho))]; • Red line: modeled IMF from rescaled synoptic charts based on Tran et al (2005); • Black line: Observation.

  10. Test of rescaling scheme • Comparison of MDI synoptic chart (after rescaled based on Tran et al) and SOLIS synoptic chart for CR2039 (from Zoran Mikic): • Red: average of magnetic field along longitude from MDI chart; • Green: average of magnetic field along longitude from SOLIS chart; • Blue: average of unsigned field along longitude from MDI chart; • Black: average of unsigned field along longitude from SOLIS chart.
