This web page collects of a number of scripts for the analysis of spherical coronal models. The scripts were developed for the comparison of numerical models of the solar corona at the time of the Parker Solar Probe (PSP) first perihelion passage (P1) within the project

The suite of scripts employs a number of codes and software (IDL, SolarSoft, Paraview, PFSSPY, QSLsquasher) for the visualization and characterization of numerical (spherical) models of the solar corona in terms of free energy, open flux, quasi-separatrix layers, and the comparison with observational information such as EUV and white-light maps.
The following material is provided:
1. A suite of scripts the analysis of coronal models (analysis_scripts_v0.1.tar.gz)
2. A document describing the step-by-step use of the scripts (Analysis_tools_v0.1.pdf)
3. The coronal model for the PSP-P1 passage generated with the magnetofrictional code DUMFRIC by A.Yeates, used as a test case (b20181105.nc)
4. A summary of the analysis of six of coronal models for the PSP-P1 (uk_solo_models.pdf)
