Comparison of 1D cuts of the synthetic white-light emission from the WP-AW simulations with data from COSMO K-Cor (top line) and SOHO/LASCO C2 (bottom line) from February 15. Each panel shows the comparison at respectively 1.2, 1.4, 1.6, 2.25, 2.7 and 3.2 solar radii. The simulation with WP-AW of February 15 without the far-side AR is shown in blue, while the simulation of February 22 with the far-side AR is shown in orange. Data from K-Cor and LASCO is shown with a black line. The gray areas show the error bars associated with the data. The x-axis shows the position angle in degrees, with 0 being the north pole of the Sun and the angle progressing in clock-wise direction (so that the western limb is shown from 0 to 180 degrees, and the eastern limb is shown from 180 to 360 degrees). Streamer structures visible in the data are highlihgted using vertical dotted lines.
