Coronal mass ejections

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5162830

U.S. research in coronal mass ejection (CMEs) over the 1983-1986 quadrennium is reviewed. Nearly all observational results derive from the white-light coronagraphs on the P-78 and SMM spacecraft. Statistical compilations of occurrence rates, angular widths, latitudes, and speeds of CMEs are discussed. Other broad topics are: the associations of CMEs with coronal and interplanetary shocks; the theory of CME origin; the structures of CMEs; and the interplanetary signatures of CMEs.
