All these CMEs were associated with solar energetic particle (SEP) events including ∼ 25 MeV protons observed by spacecraft at different locations in the inner heliosphere (≤ 1 astronomical unit (au). We analyzed the characteristics of these CMEs and compared them to a sample of CMEs observed by K-Cor during the same period with no known SEPs. We found that both samples of SEP and non-SEP CMEs expanded in width between the inner and middle corona (&gt; 2 R<sub>s</sub>), where they were observed by spacebased coronagraphs. However, the average and the median widths for the drivers of SEP CMEs were a factor of two larger than for the non-SEP CME drivers in both the inner and middle corona. Similarly, we found that the average speed of the SEP CMEs in the inner corona was more than a factor of two faster than the average for non-SEP CMEs, and almost a factor of two faster in the middle corona. Most of the CMEs (&gt; 80%) were accelerating in the inner corona for both SEP and non-SEP samples, though the average acceleration in the inner corona for the SEP CMEs was almost a factor three larger than for the non-SEP sample.

Additionally, three of the SEP events detected by the Solar Terrestrial Relations Observatory (STEREO-A) when far from Earth would have exceeded the S1 storm level. When observing, MLSO K-Cor provides near-real-time monitoring and alerts of CMEs appearing in the inner corona, hence it can provide an earlier warning than most spacebased coronagraphs of a potentially SEP-associated CME to robotic and human explorers who are concerned about the abrupt appearance of SEPs.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":777,"journal":{"name":"Solar Physics","volume":"301 7","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2026-07-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s11207-026-02679-1.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148465300","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

There are direct connections between processes on the Sun and near Earth space environment, including magnetosphere and ionosphere. For this reason the International Meridian Circle Program (IMCP), suggested by China and that has recently started working in operational mode, incorporates a new solar instrument – the Solar Full-disk Multi-layer Magnetograph (SFMM) – as one of its key elements. One of the main SFMM purposes is the prediction of solar wind parameters on the basis of full-disk observations of solar magnetic fields. Because it is known that the results of space weather predictions strongly depend on initial low boundary conditions (synoptic magnetic maps from different observatories), an addition of the new source of such data is extremely important and welcome.</p><p>This paper is the first attempt to build a synoptic magnetic map on the basis of daily full-disk measurements at the SFMM, to analyze its robustness, to use it for ambient solar wind speed forecasting, and to compare the modeling results with in situ data from the <i>Advance Composition Explorer</i> (ACE). It is demonstrated that an agreement between ACE measurements and SFMM predictions is not perfect and this issue is discussed. It is demonstrated that agreement could be significantly improved by means of modifications of some PFSS–WSA model parameters. Additionally it is shown that the solar magnetic field strengths detected with SFMM are practically the same as measured by the <i>Global Oscillation Network Group (GONG)</i>, but significantly higher (almost 4 times) than measured at the <i>Wilcox Solar Observatory (WSO)</i>. This result has no direct link with space weather modeling using the PFSS approach, but is discussed in in the context of cross-calibration of magnetic field measurements made by different observatories and/or using different spectral lines.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":777,"journal":{"name":"Solar Physics","volume":"301 7","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2026-07-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148465398","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
