Abstract

Major interplanetary shock waves have often been successfully associated with major solar flares. The interplanetary response to weaker solar events, e. g., eruptive prominences (EP) and slow coronal transients, is far less pronounced. Recently, progress has been made by combining the newly-available data of white-light-coronagraph measurements from the earth-orbiting satellite P78/1 (these data show the development of coronal transients between 2.5 and 10 R ⊙), in-situ plasma measurements from the HELIOS solar probes positioned mostly above the Sun’s limb at solar distances between 60 and 200 R ⊙ (showing the reactions of the interplanetary plasma), ground based Hα-coronagraphs (showing in a few cases the evolution of EP’s from the Sun’s limb up to 1.5 R ⊙
