Description
Coronal Mass Ejections (CMEs) are massive eruptions of plasma and magnetic fields from the Sun, capable of impacting Earth's space weather environment. Understanding their evolution from the Sun to interplanetary space requires connecting solar-origin observations to in-situ measurements. This talk covers investigations on the relationships between CME properties, such as speed, magnetic field structure, and plasma density, as observed in remote sensing image data and their counterparts detected in-situ by spacecraft. Specifically, we focus on the examination of the role of solar wind and interplanetary magnetic field interactions in shaping CME dynamics. These results also provide new insights in how solar magnetic fields and plasma conditions govern the geoeffectiveness of CMEs.
