PLAIN

SOHO/LASCO observed a full HALO CME on July 08, 2012. Event is
first seen in C2 at 14:48 UT as an asymmetric halo CME.
The event continues into the C3 field beginning 15:18 to 21:30 UT
where it dissipates at 21.5 Rsun.

Time/height measurements were marked to 5 points in C2 with speeds
of 688.9 Km/sec at position angle 61 degrees. The event is marked to 10 points
in C3. Speeds average through both fields to 613.9 Km/sec at PA 61 degrees.
Acceleration -37.12 m/sec^2.

SDO/AIA n/a

STEREO: Beacon data
COR2 A, 14:24 UT as a loop expanding over the west hemisphere. Develops to
partial halo event.
Preliminary time/height measure gives 1201.2 km/sec velocity at LE.
EUVI A, 13:55-14:350 UT flare from AR on disk in SW with dimming and wave.
COR2 B, 14:39 UT, loop expanding with extensions over the East.
Preliminary time/height measure gives 934.8 km/sec velocity at LE.
EUVI B, 13:40-14:35 UT flare from AR on disk at [S12, E171] producing a
dimming and wave.

The observation of this event is considered 'GOOD'. This CME is determined a BACKSIDED event.
