  21. The AMIE Procedure • Capabilities: • Brings together diverse data sets to obtain a comprehensive, globally coherent picture of ionospheric electrodynamic fields • Provides quantitative estimates of uncertainties in the fitted parameters • Operates with any amount of input data and with flexible temporal resolution • Capable to operate in near real-time for space weather now-cast • Limitations: • Separate treatment of auroral conductances and electric fields • Limited spatial resolution • Accuracy of conductance distributions • Assumption of vertical field-aligned currents • Ignoring neutral wind effects
