Solar energetic events, namely coronal mass ejections (CMEs) and Stream Interaction regions/corotating interaction regions (SIRs/CIRs), are the principal drivers of the major space weather phenomena in the planetary atmosphere. CMEs are defined as a huge burst of plasma and magnetic field originating from the outer surface of the sun (Gopalswamy, 2006;Gosling, 1990;Jian et al., 2006). CMEs traverse all the way from the solar corona to interplanetary space, preceded by forward shock (Chen, 2011;Tousey, 1973). They are commonly characterized by a strong rotating magnetic field, low β (ratio of plasma pressure and magnetic pressure), low ion temperature, high proton density, and enhancement in velocity (
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
