| Abstract: | Interplanetary coronal mass ejections (ICMEs) originating from closed field regions on the Sun are the most energetic phenomenon
in the heliosphere. They cause intense geomagnetic storms and drive fast mode shocks that accelerate charged particles. ICMEs
are the interplanetary manifestations of CMEs typically remote-sensed by coronagraphs. This paper summarizes the observational
properties of ICMEs with reference to the ordinary solar wind and the progenitor CMEs. |
