Subject: HALO CME on 2000/07/14

LASCO and EIT observed a full halo CME today, 2000/07/14. The event was
first visible in C2 at 10:54 UT, as a bright front extending all around
the occulting disk.  The measured speed averaged through 4 points in both
the C2 and the C3 field before saturation from particles was 1775 km/sec
at PA 262 (SW limb).  This speed may not be accurate due to limitations of
the level of the Proton event in view.

EIT observed a flare from AR9077 with wave at 10:12 UT near disk center at
location [N16.8;E0.21]. GOES reports an X5.7 class flare event from this
same area starting at 10:03 UT.  This HALO CME was problably associated
with this flare.

Images and movies of this event are available on the LASCO ftp server at:
