The Interaction<br />
• As the CME passes through the streamer belt it<br />
decelerates.<br />
• Leading edge of the fast stream interacts with the slow<br />
streamer belt flow and forms a pair (forward and reverse)<br />
of shocks.<br />
• The CME is trapped between the fast coronal hole flow<br />
and the slow streamer belt – it is sandwiched with the<br />
CIR structure.<br />
• The CME effects the CIR evolution as well – the trailing<br />
CIR is eroded.
