TO COMPUTE THE LORENTZ FORCE DENSITY WE PROPOSE TO RETRIEVE THE VARIATION IN HEIGHT (AS WELL AS LATERAL SPACE) OF THE MAGNETIC FIELD VECTOR THROUGH THE USE OF ESTABLISHED INVERSION CODES APPLIED TO HIGH SPECTRAL RESOLUTION POLARIMETRIC DATA ACQUIRED BY THE HINODE/SOT SPECTROPOLARIMETER. BY RETRIEVING THE HEIGHT VARIATION OF THE MAGNETIC FIELD IT WILL BE POSSIBLE TO DETERMINE THE FULL CURRENT DENSITY AND THUS GENERATE MAPS OF THE LORENTZ FORCE DENSITY ITSELF WITHOUT MAKING ASSUMPTIONS ABOUT THE BEHAVIOR OF THE MAGNETIC FIELD. WE WILL EMPLOY THE NICOLE INVERSION CODE BUT DEVELOP IMPROVED IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGIES WITH THE GOAL OF MORE ROUTINE PRODUCTION OFHEIGHT DEPENDENT INVERSION PRODUCTS. THE ACTIVE REGION TARGETS FOR THIS PROJECT HAVE HINODE/SP SCANS TAKEN BEFORE AND AFTER A SELECTION OF MAJOR FLARES THAT VARY IN THEIR FLARE-RELATED ACOUSTIC ACTIVITY.
