List of major topics that meeting discussions concentrated on:
Utility of vector synoptic maps:
a). what improvements in modeling we see from using true radial vs.
pseudo-radial field maps, are horizontal fields important for modeling,
synoptic maps of pseudo-radial derived from other functional dependency
(not cosine of heliocentric position) b). what are limitations of
vector synoptic data as compared with “traditional” LOS data and how to
mitigate/address these limitations (e.g., the effect of noise, ambiguity
resolution). c). specifics for integer and near-real-time synoptic maps (noise, uncertainties). d). what is the best way to represent uncertainties in vector synoptic maps
How to deal with polar fields in vector synoptic maps
a). what are the (best) approaches to fill poles in vector data and what are the effects on model outcomes b).
how important is to “fill poles” at low spatial resolution (more
uniformed, less structured) or high/moderate resolution (highly
structured).
Magnetic flux calibration of vector magnetograms and synergy with
high-resolution “synoptic” observations from DKIST (and other high-res
instruments).
a). new approaches in calibrating the magnetic field data
(combination of MHD/radiative transfer/instrument models for end-to-end
calibration). b). new approaches in comparing/cross-calibrating magnetic data from different instruments (e.g., using spherical harmonics).
