OBJECTIVES
a) studying the CMEs associated with solar flares which are directed towards the Earth, their source on the solar disk, the mechanism of initiation;
b) determining the real direction of propagation and the real speed of CMEs.
c) comparing the near-Sun signatures with in-situ signatures;
d) assessing the response of the magnetosphere, via geomagnetic indices, to CMEs hitting the Earth environment;
e) developing an empirical model in order to predict the arrival time of CMEs to the Earth.
