Scientific paper

The 3D structure of coronal mass ejections (CMEs) are examined on the basis of numerical solutions of the MHD equations. The numerical solution in a meridional plane centered over the region of newly emerged flux has features similar to those computed in previous 2D simulations. The CME is found to be shaped more like an arcade with an axis parallel to the Equator than like a bubble. This characteristic arcade shape occurs both in the density distribution in meridional and azimuthal planes and in the integrated white-light brightness in meridional and polar views. Examination of the brightness change due to the CME shows that the CME in a meridional projection as viewed from the earth has the same loop shape even if the CME originates almost directly in front of or behind the sun.
