A search for magnetic clouds associated with coronal mass ejections

Abstract

It is generally believed that coronal mass ejections (CMEs) are the direct cause of about 1/3 of magnetic clouds (MCs). In sight of the new models for the magnetic geometry of the CMEs, the number of MCs related with CMEs is expected to be greater than that value. We have developed a model for the magnetic topology of MCs. Using that topology as the signature of MCs, we have attempted to identify the MCs from several spacecraft data related with CMEs from SMM. The results obtained indicate that every CME can be associated with a MC in the solar wind in a period from about 3 days to 5 days after its ejection from the Sun.
