摘要
(1) All but two geomagnetic storms with Kp greater than or equal to 6 during the operating period (March 1996 through June 1997) of the Large Angle Spectroscopic Coronagraph (LASCO) experiment on the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO) spacecraft can be traced to Coronal Mass Ejections (CMEs). (2) These geomagnetic storms are not related to high speed solar wind streams. (3) The CMEs which cause geomagnetic effects, can be classified into two categories: Halo events and toroidal CMEs.. (4) The CMEs are accompanied by Coronal Shock Waves as seen in the Extreme Ultraviolet Imaging Telescope (EIT) Fe XII images. (5) Some CMEs are related to flares, others are not. (6) In many cases, the travel time between the explosion on the Sun and the maximum geomagnetic activity is about 80 hours.
