Caption: Figure 2.

Panels (a)–(c) show the magnetic field lines of the coronal fields of CR 2112 derived from tomographic inversion (green lines) and the MHD model (red lines) used as the initial field configuration of the tomographic inversion, originating from Carrington longitudes ﹩\pm 90^\circ ﹩ of 110.5, 120.5, and 200.5, respectively. The gray filled areas within ﹩[1.06;1.28]{R}_{\odot }﹩ show the reconstructed electron density structure in these cross-sections. Blue lines mark boundaries between regions with open and closed magnetic field lines for the MHD model. The area between the inner and outer dashed circles indicates an FOV region where CoMP input data are used. The animation with a full set of Carrington longitudes is available in the electronic supplemental material accompanying this paper. Panel (d) shows magnetic field lines of the MHD model for CR 2113 originating at a Carrington longitude of 20.°5 and 200.°5, as in panel (a).
