Overview of the CDAW events
Nat Gopalswamy
In this paper, I present an overview of the solar and interplanetary characteristics of the events
selected to be analyzed during the workshop. The events were selected based on the following criteria:
1. The events must be well observed in the interplanetary medium as shock-driving interplanetary
coronal mass ejections (ICMEs), 2. The ICMEs should have corresponding CMEs near the Sun, observed
in white-light coronal images, and 3. The heliographic coordinates of the solar sources must be within
15 degrees from the Sun Center. This presentation will set the stage for the rest of the discussion
during the workshop.
