Synoptic magnetic field maps Pipeline: synoptic magnetic field maps. Lead by: Todd & Xuepu. Task: Summary: based on line-of-sight magnetograms to generate synoptic maps of magnetic field. Input: remapped line-of-sight magnetograms. Output: Carrington synoptic charts (routine), synoptic frames with a cadence of as high as 1 minute (on-demand), evolved synoptic maps with a cadence of 16 minutes (routine). Code: at Stanford. Processors Status: almost ready to port. Already apply to MDI mags for Carrington rotation charts. Issues: some minor issues for synoptic frame and evolved maps.

Velocity maps of magnetic footpoints Pipeline: Velocity maps of magnetic footpoints. Lead by: UC Berkeley (Fisher & Brian) and Yang Task: Summary: based on the Local Correlation Tracking (LCT) technique, using time-series line-of-sight magnetograms to derive motion of magnetic footpoints. Input: time-series line-of-sight magnetograms. Output: velocity map with a cadence of 10 minutes. Generate on-demand and temporarily (?) stored. Code: LCT code developed by Fisher & Brian. Processors Status: almost ready to port. Already apply to MDI mags. Issues: some minor issues.

Vector magnetic field maps Pipeline: vector magnetic field maps. Lead by: Todd & Yang & K.D. Leka. Task: Summary: based on algorithms (fast and slow) to solve 180-degree ambiguity, and to map the vector magnetic field on solar surface (spherical coordinates). Input: field strength, inclination, azimuth, and filling factor. Output: Br, B_theta, B_phi at a 5-minute cadence with fast algorithm (routine), 6- hour (?) cadence with slow algorithm, and 30-minute cadence with slow algorithm for active regions. Code: developed at Boulder. Processors Status: Codes for fast and slow algorithms are available. Issues: The code of slow algorithm is too slow, and loss of its author will lead an improvement very difficult. The code of fast algorithm works for Cartesian coordinate only. Need to extend to a spherical coordinate.

Coronal field extrapolation Pipeline: coronal field extrapolation. Lead by: Schrijver & Keiji & Yang Task: Summary: based on potential field and force free field models to compute coronal field from vector magnetograms. Also seek possible MHD solutions. Input: vector magnetograms for local regions and vector field synoptic maps. Output: one global NLFFF solution (3D vector field) per day, one global MHD solution (3D vector field) per day, one PFSS & HCCSSS solutions (3D vector field) per day. Global solutions and solutions(3D vector field) for local region with a cadence as high as the data temporary resolution (on-request). Code: Potential field codes at Stanford, NLFFF provided by Thomas Wiegelmann at Germany (in C, on a 4 processor machine, for 320x320x256, 4GB memory, 1 hour CPU time), global MHD solution at SAIC, local MHD code provided by Wu at Alabama (in Fortran, one processor, 15 CPU hours for 99x99x99; not allow parallel computation) (and Abbete at Berkeley ?) Processors: Status: all codes are ready to port except MHD code for global solution with vector field data as input. Issues: global MHD simulation with vector field data as input needs to be tested. better visualization tool is required.

Coronal & solar wind models Pipeline: coronal & solar wind models. Lead by: Linker & Zhao & Hayashi Task: Summary: MHD simulation to model coronal structure (steady state) with vector field data as an input. Also seek dynamic solutions driven by time- series data. Empirical solar wind models from PFSS-like result computed from magnetic field synoptic maps (i.e. WSA model); MHD solar wind model from synoptic maps. Input: vector magnetograms for local regions and vector field synoptic maps. Output: 3D plasma data. Code: Potential field codes at Stanford, global MHD solution at SAIC, local MHD code provided by Wu at Alabama (in Fortran, one processor, 15 CPU hours for 99x99x99; not allow parallel computation) (and Abbete at Berkeley ?) Processors: Status: Issues:
