Objectives

  • Initiation of CMEs and their take-off dynamics ("acceleration stage")
  • Heliospheric dynamics of ICMEs and evolution of their structure
  • Relationship between empirical, analytical, and numerical propagation models and comparison with observations; forecasting aspects
  • CME/ICME-associated phenomena (flares, shocks, etc.)
