Abstract
Characteristics of geomagnetic storms caused by solar flares at different central meridian distances are statistically examined to obtain a two dimensional configuration of the solar plasma flow generated by solar flares. It is shown that the front of the plasma flow is nearly hemispherical, but its energy flux is greatly concentrated in a narrow cone from intense solar flares; therefore, the energy flux has a jet structure. It is shown that these results can be reasonably combined to give a consistent picture by assuming the generation of an interplanetary shock wave by the jet of the solar plasma ejected by a solar flare.
