| Session Description | During the last decade, several space missions (e.g., SOHO, WIND, ACE) made it possible to examine the connection between solar events and geomagnetic storms. It is well recognized that this component is one of the essential parts of space weather monitoring and prediction. Coronal mass ejections (CMEs) and high speed solar wind streams are the two sources of geomagnetic storms. These two sources have different origin at the Sun, CMEs from closed filed regions and high speed streams from oronal holes. This session will address the Sun-geomagnetic storm connection in a comprehensive way, from the solar origin to the geospace consequences. In particular, several inter-relationships such as (1) CME-storm, (2) CME - Magnetic Cloud (MC) and Ejecta, (3) CME - IP shocks, and (4) coronal hole - corotating interacting region (CIR) - storm. Papers dealing with all aspects of the topic including observational and numerical studies are solicited. |
