2 Introduction: IPS Magnetic Field forward modeling closed-loop analyses from Current Sheet Source Surface (CSSS) modeling Closed-loop component forward-modeling of Bn can show a low-resolution component in solar wind data Current studies so far, implications My talk will proceed this way

3 Interplanetary Scintillation (IPS) Analysis
The Solar Wind Imaging Facility, Toyokawa (SWIFT) array is shown in the above photograph. B. Jackson is standing on the steps that take one to the antenna dipoles. The non-moving array is steerable in declination, providing views of radio sources as the transit the meridian above Japan.

7 Magnetic Field Extrapolation
(Zhao, X. P. and Hoeksema, J. T., 1995, J. Geophys. Res., 100 (A1), 19.) Magnetic Field Extrapolation Dunn et al., 2005, Solar Physics 227: 339–353. In a technique worked out by Zhao, X. P. and Hoeksema, J. T., 1995, J. Geophys. Res., 100 (A1), 19, we are able to project outward magnetic field from the solar surface. This works globally using archival data or in forecast. The potential field model provides a measurement of radial field at the source surface. This is projected outward using the UCSD solar wind model to provide a radial and tangential field anywhere within the 3D volume. Inner region: the CSSS model calculates the magnetic field using photospheric measurements and a horizontal current model. 2. Middle region: the CSSS model opens the field lines. In the outer region. 3. Outer region: the UCSD tomography convects the magnetic field along velocity flow lines. Jackson, B.V., et al., 2011, Adv. in Geosciences, 30,

12 What is really wanted is Bn  Bz

15 Things to try to determine a more
Study Underway Things to try to determine a more consistent closed loop and Bn correlation: 1) Will another model of the closed flux change the result? 2) How does the correlation and amount of closed flux released change from one Carrington rotation to another? 3) How does the location of the flux release surface change the result? 4) Do different magnetogram inputs provide a different result?

22 We suggest that at least part of the Bn component comes from closed fields that escape from near the solar surface – perhaps through some non-static process.

24 Summary: IPS Magnetic Field forward modeling closed-loop analyses from Current Sheet Source Surface (CSSS) modeling can be forward modeled to show all three components of magnetic field measured in-situ. The results so far are low resolution, and while all three “closed” components give a dominance of positive correlations, the correlations from one to the next Carrington rotation are not always positive. The results show that these components are more dominant when there is a larger amount of solar activity. The implication is that probably some remnant of the closed fields escape from the near solar surface to permeate the solar wind. My talk will proceed this way
