The photospheric signatures of coronal currents, B>(xy, 0), derived from (a) the SHARP photospheric vector magnetogram, (b) the lower boundary data of the CFIT N solution, and (c) the lower boundary data of the CFIT P solution for AR 11429 on 2012 March 6 23:36 UT. The background color map in each panel shows ﹩{B}_{z}^{\gt }(x,y,0)﹩, the black contours show the main PILs corresponding to Bz(xy, 0) = 0, and the dark green vectors show the horizontal component ﹩{{\boldsymbol{B}}}_{h}^{\gt }(x,y,0)﹩. The color and arrow scales are the same for all the panels. The regions highlighted by the purple and black boxes are discussed in the text.
