Adjusting the Potential Field Source Surface Height Based on Magnetohydrodynamic Simulations

A potential field solution is widely used to extrapolate the coronal magnetic field above the Sun’s surface to a certain height. This model applies the current-free approximation and assumes that the magnetic field is entirely radial beyond the source surface height, which is defined as the radial d...
