Comparing Free Energies Estimates for AR 8210

Comparing Free Energies Estimates for AR 8210
Free magnetic energy in the corona powers flares
and CMEs. Can we accurately estimate the
evolution of free energy?
Can we use magnetograms to
predict emission?
How can we best use new magnetographs (Solar-B
/FPP, SOLIS VSM, SDO/HMI) to predict coronal
energy release?

From magnetograms of AR 8210, we will compare
free energy estimates derived via published
methods, and study agreement/disagreement.
