An interplanetary coronal mass ejection (ICME) is the counterpart of a coronal mass ejection by definition. However, the relationship between the magnetic structures of the CMEs and that of the situ observations of ICMEs is still quite far from clear, due to observational gaps and the state of our understanding of CMEs. Some studies suggested that the magnetic cloud (MC, a group of ICMEs with fluxrope signatures) magnetic polarity follows the solar large scale magnetic field, and others suggested it follows the local magnetic field of the CME source region. Recent studies found that the relationship is more complex. While solar cycle dependence of the magnetic signature of MCs is clearly evident, the polarity of the MCs does not reverse at the same time when the solar large scale field reverses around solar maximum, but begins to have mixed polarities, and the new polarity may only prevail at the midst of the declining phase. Interestingly, in an independent study of the magnetic topology at the CME source regions, we found a similar solar cycle dependence of the bipolar and quadrupolar topologie. In this work, the link between CMEs and ICMEs is made and the results will shed light on our understanding about the relationship between CME and ICME magnetic structures and how these structures are related to solar local and large scale magnetic fields.Acknowledgement: ATM/NSF-0451438, SRT/NASA-NNG06GE51G and CISM/NSF.
