Comment Section

  • This is a varSITI campaign event
  • A perfect CME-ICME chain event (J. Zhang)
    • classical ICME feature: shock + sheath + magnetic cloud
    • strong solar signature: X1 flare (S17W08); halo CME, fast and bright
  • Propagation Direction is very close to the Sun Earth Line, making this a good event for comparing observations nearer the Sun to in-situ signatures (P. Hess)

In-Situ Data

A combination of SWEPAM and MAG data from the ACE Satellite:

The blue lines are an approximation of the CME cloud and the red line denotes the shock.


The results from geometrical modeling (speeds and arrival times) in comparison to the in situ data from the Wind spacecraft (C. Moestl). The magnetic cloud is of ESW type (right handed), with the flux rope axis pointing southward; the MC has very long duration (48 hours). The shock arrival time is 2012 July 14 17:38 UT.
