AR 8210: “Live & Let Die”? Or, “Never Say Never Again”?
Several techniques exist to determine flows from magnetograms, to drive coronal models.
• Time series of vector magnetograms can be used with:– FLCT, ILCT (Welsch et al. 2004), – MEF (Longcope 2004), – MSR (Georgoulis & LaBonte 2006), – DAVE (Schuck, 2006), or – LCT (e.g., Démoulin & Berger 2003)
to find
• Several methods have been used with AR 8210 data, but not on the same magnetograms / same cadence, etc. Standardizing data & comparing results would be good.

In ideal MHD, photospheric flows move mag-netic flux with a flux transport rate, Bnuf.

Demoulin & Berger (2003):Apparent motion of flux on a surface can arise from horizontal and/or vertical flows.
In either case, uf represents “flux transport velocity.”

Magnetic diffusivity also causes flux transport, as field lines can slip through the plasma.
• Even non-ideal transport can be represented as a flux transport velocity.
• Quantitatively, one can approximate 3-D non-ideal effects as 2-D diffusion, in Fick’s Law form,

Some LCT vectors flip as difference images fluctuate!
