We introduce a nonpotential magnetic field calculation (NPFC) technique to perform azimuth disambiguation in solar vector magnetograms. It is shown that resolving the 180° ambiguity would be a numerically fully determined problem if the vertical electric current density was known a priori. Since this is not the case, we enforce a minimum-magnitude current density solution. The NPFC disambiguation is otherwise assumption-free, with the quality of the results depending on the quality of the measurements. The NPFC method first infers the nonpotential magnetic field component responsible for the assumed vertical currents and then determines the vertical magnetic field whose potential extrapolation, added to the nonpotential field, best reproduces the observationally inferred horizontal magnetic field. The technique is fast, effective, and physically sound, so it may be instrumental in a routine, real-time, disambiguation of future space-borne solar vector magnetograms.
