Abstract: | Interplanetary scintillation (IPS) observations may be used to study large-scale propagation properties of transient interplanetary disturbances in a three-dimensional manner, although current IPS observations have several limitations, e.g., poor time resolution and line-of-sight integration. Comparative studies with spacecraft solar wind and white-light coronal mass ejection (CME) observations are quite helpful in interpretation of IPS observations. An interplanetary disturbance apparently in association with a disappearing solar filament, which took place near the central meridian of the Sun on late 22 April, 1979, is discussed to examine previous deductions from IPS observations. Three-station IPS observations of the flow speed and spacecraft observations suggest that a quasi-spherical interplanetary disturbance was formed around the Sun-Earth line, whereas the center of the disturbance derived from the distribution of enhanced IPS across the sky (g-maps) is located to the east of the Sun-Earth line.Permanently at Research Institute of Atmospherics, Nagoya University, Toyokawa 442, Japan. |
