Around 14:00 UT (7 or 8AM PT) everyday, a latest daily-updated synoptic map is generated in JSOC data pipeline. At 10 AM PT, the coronal MHD module loads the latest map and start a time-relaxation simulation. Plots of PFSS calculations above are updated usually around 10:30AM PT. A daily MHD real-time low-resolution simulation is completed around 11:30 AM to 12:30PM PT. The elapsed time depends upon primarily the largest absolute eigen values of the hyperbolic equation system, or roughly the largest value of the magnetic field strength (the CFL condition).

   a cubic data containing all eight MHD variables : click here (FITS format, approx. 6.5MB).
This single FITS file contains all eight simulated MHD variables, from 1.01 to 4.96 Rs. The size of this cubic data is 32 x 64 x 640. The first 80-layer block, (*,*,0:79), is for the density (in count/cc) at heights of (1.01 + i * 0.05) Rs, i.e., from 1.01 Rs to 4.96 Rs with a fixed equi-radius interval of 0.05Rs. The second to eighth 80-layer blocks are respectively for the temperature (in MK), V_r, V_theta, V_phi (in km/s), B_r, B_theta and B_phi (in Gauss). Please mind that the format and specifications of this FITS file are different from those at JSOC database.

   (*) Many movie frames are missing because of disk failutre.
(d) SDO/HMI daily synoptic maps have been regularly generated at JSOC, and used in this daily-MHD model, from July 1. 2011.
(c) Transition of input data, from MDI to HMI.
(b) SOHO/MDI daily-updated synoptic maps were used until the end of 2010.
(a) Polar-field correction was applied to the input MDI synoptic map data, except for a few earliest weeks.


Simulations with definitive synoptic map data
definitive daily data  :  magnetic field map and three-dimensional MHD data
definitive once-a-Carrington-Rotation data  :  magnetic field map and three-dimensional MHD data
   *) Definitive version of input synoptic or synchronic frame maps of solar-surface magnetic field and MHD output data are generated when all calibrations are applied, usually a month after observations.
