Solar Flares: Relation to Coronal Mass Ejections
Abstract
SOLAR FLARES and SOLAR CORONAL MASS EJECTIONS have both been associated with geomagnetic activity such as the AURORA, radio interference and `geomagnetic storms' caused by large currents flowing through the Earth's magnetosphere. They are also both associated with high fluxes of energetic particles (`proton events') in near-Earth space. However, they are different types of event....
