Solar Wind Modeling with the Alfvén Wave Solar atmosphere Model Driven by HMI-based Near-real-time Maps by the National Solar Observatory

Abstract We explore the performance of Alfvén Wave Solar atmosphere Model with near-real-time (NRT) synoptic maps photospheric vector magnetic field. These maps, produced by assimilating data from Helioseismic Magnetic Imager (HMI) on board Dynamics Observatory, use a different method developed at National Observatory (NSO) to provide near contemporaneous source drive numerical models. Here, we apply these NSO-HMI-NRT simulate three full Carrington rotations: 2107.69 (centered 2011 March 7 20:12 CME event), 2123.5 2012 May 11), and 2219.12 2019 July 2 solar eclipse), which together cover various activity levels for cycle 24. show simulation results, reproduce both extreme ultraviolet emission low corona while simultaneously matching in situ observations 1 au as well quantify total unsigned open flux maps.
