Surya-Bench Coronal Field Extrapolation Task

This foundation model task uses the foundation model to emulate the physics-based ADAPT-WSA PFSS code, driven by SDO/HMI observations. The parameters to predict are spherical harmonic coefficients which represent the magnetic potential for a domain between the photosphere and a source surface (set to 2.51 Rs). Included in these FITS files are other variables relating the WSA output that might be useful, such as photospheric polarity and open/closed field line masks. The ADAPT-WSA code is an ensemble model. Data is included here for all 12 realizations (identified by R000 - R011 in the file names).

Spherical harmonics can be found in fits HDU index 3 (zero-based), as a (2, 91, 91) array. Each (91, 91) array is a triangular matrix with unused elements left as zero.

See also the associated code on GitHub, which includes a pytorch data loader for use with the foundation model.
