The ISEST Master CME List

ResourceID
spase://NASA/Catalog/ACE/ISEST_Master_CME_List

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.
