September 2006 CISM All Hand Meeting Cone model update Improved cone model shows potential to model various CMEs’ geometric structures (more detail). Improved cone model shows potential to model various CMEs’ geometric structures (more detail).more detailmore detail Circular cone-like models (having a circular base) can be modeled with uniqueness of solution (including conic, ice cream conic and spherical conic models), but only a fraction of the halo CMEs can be modeled so far; Circular cone-like models (having a circular base) can be modeled with uniqueness of solution (including conic, ice cream conic and spherical conic models), but only a fraction of the halo CMEs can be modeled so far; Elliptic-like models: the solution is not unique, but can be solved using multiple observations from different angles. We have been developing codes, almost ready for the upcoming STEREO data. Elliptic-like models: the solution is not unique, but can be solved using multiple observations from different angles.
