Halo coronal mass ejections during Solar Cycle 24: reconstruction of the global scenario and geoeffectiveness

Coronal mass ejections (CMEs),  in particular Earth-directed ones, are regarded as the main drivers of geomagnetic activity. In this study, we present a statistical analysis of a set of 53 fast (V ≥ 1000 km·s−1) Earth-directed halo CMEs observed by the SOHO/LASCO instrument during the period Jan. 20...
