The Wang-Sheeley-Arge (WSA) model is regularly used to predict the solar wind speed and interplanetary magnetic field polarity (IMF) at 1 AU. As the only input to the model, photospheric magnetic observations can affect the result to a significant extent. In this paper, we employ the newly calibrated MDI data (1996-2008) and a reasonable polar field extrapolation to test an objective scheme for predicting the solar wind parameters. The results are statistically evaluated and compared with those based on older MDI data and other sources. In order to study the model dependence, we use three different models to infer the coronal field: the potential field source surface (PFSS) model, Schatten current sheet (SCS) model and horizontal-current current-sheet source-surface (HCCSSS) model. They sometimes produce different coronal field structures and perform variously in different phases of the solar cycle.
