A snapshot of an animation that compares the observed and model-synthesized AIA 131 Å images. The animation, which runs for 17 s, covers the 2.5 hr time period on 2013 January 1 from 00:30:00 UT to 03:00:00 UT. The left half presents an animation of the observed AIA 131 Å images. The model-synthesized animation (D2_Ω3 model) is displayed on the right half. The observation animation is generated via www.helioviewer.org. The model-synthesized images are calculated through a line of sight 30^∘ away from the vertical direction and parallel to the y–z plane, which is consistent with the latitude of the real active region. The synthesized animation is scaled logarithmically between 1 and 400 DN pixel⁻¹ s⁻¹, which is chosen to achieve the best visual comparison. The animation of this figure is available.
