Solar wind data at Earth and coronal soft X ray images are used to identify the probable solar sources for the November 3-4, 1993, geomagnetic storm. This storm falls in a recurrent sequence associated with the leading edge of a high speed stream from a large coronal hole. We have found convincing, though not certain, evidence that there were also two coronal mass ejections (CMEs) that contributed to the storm. The solar wind transients to which they gave rise arrived at Earth after passage of the heliospheric current sheet and in association with the corotating interaction region (CIR) at the leading edge of the high-speed stream. This combination of transients with a CIR at the leading edge of a new sector is an example of the dominant pattern for significant geomagnetic storms in the declining phase of the solar cycle. We suggest that global analysis, as used in this paper, can contribute to understanding the relative geoeffectiveness of different CMEs.
