W ether – Jauary 215, ol. 0, o. 1 the CME with the magnetosphere. If this occurs, the dayside magnetospheric flux gets dragged over to the nightside by the motion of the CME, and an accumulation of magnetic flux then occurs in this part of the magnetosphere, followed by magnetic reconnection. This reconfiguration of the nightside magnetosphere allows magnetic flux to move back to the dayside, where it can undergo reconnection with the CME once again. This process is known as the Dungey cycle (Dungey, 1961). During these times the magnetosphere is driven into a disturbed state, producing geomagnetic sub-storms and storms which then lead to a multitude of space weather effects (Pulkkinen, 2007). CMEs, which are the bulk ejection of magnetised plasma, are often temporally and spatially associated with another form of solar activity known as a solar flare – sudden bursts of electromagnetic radiation (decametre radio waves to gamma-rays) and high-energy particles (Benz, 2008). This CME-flare association has its origins in the physical processes that are common to both phenomena. Solar flares arise from the conversion of magnetic energy into other forms during magnetic reconnection, and this energy conversion leads to the production of electromagnetic radiation. However, magnetic reconnection also reconfigures the magnetic field during a CME, which accelerates the magnetised plasma away from the Sun. Despite these common aspects, CMEs and flares are very distinct in terms of their physical guise. Solar flares have a space weather impact through their high-energy radiation that ionises the Earth’s upper atmosphere, and through the protons that are accelerated to near-relativistic energies, posing a threat to spacecraft and humans in space.
