Summary: The Future is here: • Forecasts with the IPS data (this has worked with STELab data for about 12 years). • Forecasts in real-time work better now with the inclusion of in-situ data (has been available since spring, 2011) These new innovations and the inclusion of other world IPS data sets make the technique a competitive way to measure velocities and densities. • FR inversion to obtain vector fields may work, but needs to be incorporated with a robust method of determining density to back out accurate vector magnetic fields remotely.
