Figure 9From: Short-term variability of the Sun-Earth system: an overview of progress made during the CAWSES-II periodSpeed and width distributions of the limb CMEs from cycle 23 (left) and 24 (right). The speed distributions are very similar, but the width distributions are different. The last bin in the width distributions represent full-halo CMEs. Note that the full-halo CMEs are three times more abundant in cycle 24.Back to article page
