It is an important subject of space weather to forecast accurate arrival time of interplanetary coronal mass ejections (ICMEs) at the Earth. Determination of initial speeds of CMEs is an important factor for this. Here, we estimated the initial speeds of CMEs using solar wind observations near 1 AU and compared these speeds with CME speeds measured by the SOHO coronagraph.To search for other articles by the author(s) go to: http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abstract_service.html
