7513 Coronal Mass Ejections

Scientific paper

The Solar Mass Ejection Imager (SMEI) was launched on board the DoD Space Test Program's Coriolis satellite in January 2003. Two-thirds through its planned 3-year lifetime, SMEI has observed Coronal Mass Ejections (CMEs), comets and asteroids as they move through the heliosphere. More than 140 CMEs have been detected with the SMEI instrument, including well-documented "halo" events that led to geomagnetic storm conditions on Earth. These observations demonstrate the potential of a heliospheric imager for space weather specification and prediction purposes. We present several case studies of CMEs as they propagate through the SOHO LASCO and SMEI fields of view, and examine SMEI's "hit" rate for detection of geoeffective CMEs.
