Scientific paper

We summarize the variations in solar wind plasma composition observed by the ACE/SWICS instrument during the near-Earth interplanetary coronal mass ejections (ICMEs) in 1996-2002 identified by Cane and Richardson [2003], and compare these with variations in the composition of the ambient solar wind, for example dividing the ICMEs into those with and without ``magnetic cloud" signatures, or by whether they are preceded by halo/partial halo CMEs observed by the LASCO coronagraphs. We also develop a set of simple criteria that characterize the compositional anomalies associated with ICMEs, and assess their success in identifying ICMEs from the composition data. The CR03 survey of the occurrence rate and properties of ICMEs during solar cycle 23 will also be updated. H. V. Cane and I. G. Richardson, J. Geophys.
