2. CME
2.1. A. Candidate A
A.1. LASCO:
#CME 2013/03/15 07:12 UT (from CDAW)
angle: Halo CME, vel: 1063 km/s
SEEDS C2 vel:

A.2. STEREO:

A.3. AIA & GOES
AIA data is not available, probably due to AIA eclipse, during the eruption. Most probably the eruption is from NOAA AR 1692 (due to post flare arcade) and was associated with M1.1 class flare (N09E06).

A.4. Comment:
Likely the source of disturbance on 2013/03/17. The location of flare is close to the disk center.




3. Other Comments
GMU's ENLIL model run suggests that this CME could reach the Earth on 2013/03/16 ~ 20:00 UT, close to the actual time of disturbance.
