Description
CME and ICME Event list - a comprehensive event list of chain of cause-effect of solar eruptive events from Sun to Earth. The ISEST (International Study of Earth-Affecting Solar Transients) is one of the four projects of the VarSITI (Variability of the Sun and Its Terrestrial Impact) program, which runs from 2014 to 2018. The VarSITI is the current scientific program of SCOSTEP (Scientific Committee on Solar-Terrestrial Physics.

Parameter #9
Name
SEEDS VEL C2
Description
The velocity of the CME, as determined by the SEEDS C2 Catalog. These velocities are for quick reference only, and should not be taken at face value. There are different errors that are present in these velocities and they should not be used for an serious study or research work
Support
Parameter #10
Name
SEEDS VEL A
Description
The velocity of the CME, as determined by the SEEDS STEREO Catalog. These velocities are for quick reference only, and should not be taken at face value. There are different errors that are present in these velocities and they should not be used for an serious study or research work
Support
Parameter #11
Name
SEEDS VEL B
Description
The velocity of the CME, as determined by the SEEDS STEREO Catalog. These velocities are for quick reference only, and should not be taken at face value. There are different errors that are present in these velocities and they should not be used for an serious study or research work
Support
Parameter #12
Name
AVG. VEL
Description
The average velocity of the CME as calculated by determining the time of the CME in C2 and the beginning of the signature in-situ
Support
Parameter #13
Name
Velocity
Description
The average velocity of the ejecta at ACE
Support
Parameter #14
Name
Transit time
Support
Parameter #15
Name
DST PEAK
Description
The lowest value of the DST index
Support
Parameter #16
