Abstract In recent years, a two-dimensional (2D) coronal seismology technique applied to spectral-imaging data from the Coronal Multi-channel Polarimeter (CoMP) and Upgraded Coronal Multi-channel Polarimeter (UCoMP) has enabled routine measurement of the global coronal magnetic field. The technique combines coronal transverse wave phase speed from Doppler measurements with electron densities from the Fe xiii 10798/10747 Å intensity ratio to infer the magnetic field strength, while the wave propagation directions from Doppler measurements trace the magnetic field direction. To validate the accuracy and robustness of this method, we use forward modeling of a MURaM simulation that produces open and closed magnetic structures with excited waves. From the synthetic Doppler velocity, Fe xiii infrared line intensities, and linear polarization signals, we apply the 2D coronal seismology technique to estimate the magnetic field strength and direction. A comparison with the simulation ground truth shows close agreement, indicating that the technique can recover the line-of-sight (LOS) emissivity-weighted magnetic field direction and strength with high accuracy. We also perform a parameter-space analysis to quantify the sensitivities of the method to parameter choice. These findings provide practical guidance for CoMP/UCoMP-like analysis and demonstrate that 2D coronal seismology can deliver reliable, LOS emissivity-weighted measurements of the coronal magnetic field from coronal wave observations.
