Scientific paper

In his review, Gosling (1993) has summarized data concering relations between interplanetary shocks, solar flares, and coronal mass ejections (CMEs) and arrived at a conclusion that flares play a minor role in producing nonrecurrent high-velocity streams in the solar wind and associated with them sporadic geomagnetic storms. In view of its importantance, this assertion needs to be carefully and convincingly substantiated. According to Gosling (1993), interplanetary shocks (1) are driven by fast CMEs that (2) have no fundamental association (in terms of cause and effect) with solar flares. (3) CME-driven interplanetary disturbances are also the prime cause of large, nonrecurrent geomagnetic storms. Let us consider to what extent experimental data confirm this statement.
