2. CME
2.1. A. Candidate A
A.1. LASCO:
#CME 2013/01/15 08:12 UT (from CDAW)
angle: 105, velocity: 221 km/s
CME is faint and is moving below equator

A.2. STEREO:
Moderate CME in both COR2-A and COR2-B. Front side moving CME.


A.3. AIA & GOES
Associated with C1.1 class flare from AR 11650 (S31W55, starting at 06:46 UT). Eruption of AR filament (outside of the AR). WDA is not clear.

A.4. Comment:
Could be the source of disturbance of 2013/01/18


2.1. A. Candidate B
B.1. LASCO:
#CME 2013/01/16 19:00 UT (from CDAW)
angle: 211, velocity: 648 km/s


B.2. STEREO:
Major CME in both COR2-A and COR2-B. Front side moving CME.


B.3. AIA & GOES
Associated with C2.2 class flare from AR 11650 (S32W87, starting at 06:46 UT).

B.4. Comment:
less likely to be the source of disturbance of 2013/01/18 due to location and time of eruption.
