Many numerical and time dependent MHD simulations of the solar atmosphererequire the underlying velocity fields which should be consistent with theinduction equation. Recently, Longcope (2004) introduced a new techniqueto infer the photospheric velocity field from sequence of vector magnetogramswhich are in agreement with the induction equation. The method, the Minimum Energy Fit (MEF), determines a set of velocities and selects the velocity which is smallest overall flow speed by minimizing an energy functional. The inferred velocity can be further constrained by information aboutthe velocity inferred from other techniques. With this adopted techniquewe would expect that the inferred velocity will be close to the photospheric velocity of magnetic footpoints. Here, we demonstrate that the inferred horizontal velocities from LCT can be used to constrain the MEFvelocities. We also apply this technique to actual vector magnetogramsequences and compare these velocities with velocities from LCT alone.This work is supported by DoD MURI and NSF SHINE programs.
