• Near disk center, we can approximate BLOS Bz.
• Use LCT to get uLCT, with LOSt to calculate uILCT that satisfies induction eqn’s normal component.
• To decompose ILCT flow, uILCT , into (vx, vy, vz), we need B at photosphere – but lack measured B!
• But we can use B from code – an educated guess for initial condition, then from current time step.

Extending ILCT to LOS data sets, cont’d: Extending ILCT to LOS data sets, cont’d:
• Long-duration data sets of MDI full-disk magneto- grams exist for most events in SOHO era!
• Initial B(x,y,z) can be given by combination of global PFSS model + local NLFFF consistent with X-ray/EUV observations.
• In principle, can run data-driven simulations of almost all events in SOHO era!

Apparent horizontal motion can be either true horizontal motion, or vertical motion of a tilted field geometry.
