Illustration of the workflow of the NSPF model. (a) extraction of the NSSS from a potential field layer magnetic field computed with a spherical source surface; (b) recalculation of the potential field layer magnetic field under the NSSS; (c) computation of the magnetic field in the current sheet layer and the IMF; and (d) optional iteration of the NSSS to match the observed open magnetic flux.
