a model of the coronal magnetic field as current-free up to a spherical surface beyond which field lines are radial.

In space physics, potential field source surface model refers to a model of the coronal magnetic field as current-free up to a spherical surface beyond which field lines are radial. This meaning comes from Schatten (1969) in Solar Physics.[1]
