TLDR
The SOHO/LASCO CME catalog as mentioned in this paper is a data base for the analysis of coronal mass ejections (CMEs) in the solar corona.
Abstract
Coronal mass ejections (CMEs) are routinely identified in the images of the solar corona obtained by the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO) mission’s Large Angle and Spectrometric Coronagraph (LASCO) since 1996. The identified CMEs are measured and their basic attributes are cataloged in a data base known as the SOHO/LASCO CME Catalog. The Catalog also contains digital data, movies, and plots for each CME, so detailed scientific investigations can be performed on CMEs and the related phenomena such as flares, radio bursts, solar energetic particle events, and geomagnetic storms. This paper provides a brief description of the Catalog and summarizes the statistical properties of CMEs obtained using the Catalog. Data products relevant to space weather research and some CME issues that can be addressed using the Catalog are discussed. The URL of the Catalog is: http://cdaw.gsfc.nasa.gov/CME_list.

Occurrence Rate of Radio-Loud and Halo CMEs in Solar Cycle 25: Prediction Using their Correlation with the Sunspot Number

TL;DR: In this article, the occurrence rates of radio-loud (RL) and halo CMEs in solar cycle (SC) 25, obtaining good correlations between the numbers of RL and Halo CMCs in each year and the yearly mean sunspot number in the previous two cycles.

What Is Unusual About the Third Largest Geomagnetic Storm of Solar Cycle 24?

TL;DR: In this article , the authors report on the solar and interplanetary (IP) causes of the third largest geomagnetic storm (2018 August 26) in solar cycle 24 and conclude that the high intensity of the storm results from the prolonged CME acceleration, complex rotation, and the high density in the 1-au MC.

Distinctions between the characteristics of before and after DH CMEs associated flares

TL;DR: A detailed analysis of characteristics of coronal mass ejections and flares associated with deca-hectometer wavelength type-II radio bursts (DH-CMEs and DH-flares) observed in the period 1997-2008 is presented in this paper.

Development of a formalism for computing in situ transits of Earth-directed CMEs - Part 2: Towards a forecasting tool

TL;DR: In this paper, a semi-empirical formalism is presented to compute in situ transit profiles of Earth-directed fast halo CMEs, which combines analytic models and empirical relations to approximate CME properties as would be seen by a spacecraft near Earth's orbit.

The Source Locations of Major Flares and CMEs in the Emerging Active Regions

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the source PILs of the activities and found that none of the active PIL is the self PIL (sPIL) of a single bipole.

Waves: The Radio and Plasma Wave Investigation on the Wind Spacecraft

TL;DR: The WAVES investigation on the WIND spacecraft will provide comprehensive measurements of the radio and plasma wave phenomena which occur in Geospace as mentioned in this paper, in coordination with the other onboard plasma, energetic particles, and field measurements will help us understand the kinetic processes that are important in the solar wind and in key boundary regions of the Geospace.

Interplanetary acceleration of coronal mass ejections

TL;DR: In this article, an empirical model was proposed to predict the arrival of CMEs at 1 AU, based on the relation between the acceleration and initial speed of the CME.
