	Overall ICME quality index: 
	ICME signatures: High magnetic field jump
			 rotational signature of Bz
			 velocity jump and smooth velocity decrease
			 *** proton temperature is higher (unexpected)


Based on 410 km/s -> search window       144.000 hrs or       6.00000 days -> 2013/02/10 12:09:00.000

 2. CME
    2.1. A. Candidate A
	A.1. LASCO:
	    #CME 2013/02/12 23:12 UT, partial halo (from CDAW)
		angle: 165, velocity: 1050 km/s
		SEEDS vel C2: 442 km/s

	A.2. STEREO:
		 Seen as a major CME in COR2-A with velocity of 605 km/s. In COR2 B it was relatively weak
		 
	A.3. AIA & GOES
	Eruption from ~S30W60 with very weak flare, flare class is not mentioned in 'solar monitor'. The eruption was from decayed region. 

	A.4. Comment:
		Likely the source. However, the initial speed (CDAW) was very fast and the source location (solar surface) was near the western limb. 


    2.2. B. Candidate B
	B.1. LASCO:
		#CME 2013/02/15, partial halo (from CDAW)
		angle: 136 , vel: 323 km/s
	B.2. Comment:
		Unlikely the source of the disturbance of 2013/02/16 due to the appearance time of CME and initial velocity. 
		
		

 3. Other Comments
	GMU's ENLIL run shows that this eruption was associated with the disturbance of 2013/02/16.
