Scientific paper

The most complete observations of CMEs throughout a solar cycle, previously, were conducted from 1979 through 1989 using a combination of the P78-1/Solwind and SMM coronagraphs. Aside from the variation in the occurrence rate of CMEs throughout the cycle, perhaps the most interesting effect of the solar cycle was the occurrence of CMEs in the outer corona along the magnetic neutral line. The LASCO experiment on the SOHO satellite has been observing the solar corona since the start of cycle 23, except for a brief 4-month hiatus in 1998. The new observations have several important improvements over the previous ones - increased sensitivity, increased spatial coverage and continuous solar viewing. In this paper, we examine the nature of CME observations during the rising and declining phases to determine if there is a difference between the CMEs that occur during these two phases.
