     	Suggested source CME: 2013/12/12 03:36
     	V_transit:   510 km/s
      
  1.2. SW Plots
	Overall ICME quality index: 2 
	SW type: EJ+SH
	ICME signatures:  Bmax: 9.2 nT
						varying Bz.
	Other ICME signatures:  decreasing velocity, low plasma density, low proton temperature, and small plasma beta.
                     
	Peculiar behavior: magnetic field is lower than 10 nT
						variation of Bz is not smooth
						increase in density near the end of the disturbance.
                         
	Search Window:
	Upper bound: Disturbance speed 460 km/s: 91 hrs:
	Lower bound: Transit speed < 700 km/s: 60 hrs <

2. CME
   2.1. A. Candidate A
	A.1. LASCO:
		#CME 2013/12/12 03:36 UT, partial halo (CDAW)
		moving with linear velocity of 1002 km/s
	A.2. STEREO:
		seeds COR2-A and COR2-B is unavailable
	A.3. AIA and GOES:
		
	A.4. Comments:
 		Unlikely the source because of the velocity. 

  2.1. B. Candidate B
	B.1. LASCO:
		#CME 2013/12/12 06:24, partial halo (CDAW)
		moving with a linear velocity of 723 km/s
		seeds C2 speed: 607 km/s
	B.2. STEREO:
		seeds COR2-A and COR2-B is unavailable
	B.3. AIA and GOES:
		data is not available in jhelioviewer. IN CDAW movie the source is located in SE quardant.
	B.4. Comments:
		Could be the source of disturbance. 

  2.1. C. Candidate C
	C.1. LASCO:
		#CME 2013/12/13 21:24 UT, halo (CDAW)
		moving with linear velocity of 518 km/s
	C.2. STEREO:
		not a front side moving CME.
	C.3. AIA and GOES:
	C.4. Comments:
		Unlikely the source of the disturbance. 

  2.1. D. Candidate D
	D.1. LASCO:
		#CME 2013/12/14 06:36, partial halo (CDAW)
		moving with linear velocity of 611 km/s
	D.2. STEREO:
		moving southward
	D.3. AIA and GOES
	D.4. Comment:
		Unlikely the source of disturbance. 
		
 
  2.1. E. Candidate E
	E.1. LASCO:
		#CME 2013/12/14 09:12, partial halo (CDAW)
		moving with linear velocity of 391 km/s
	E.2. STEREO:
		seems like front side moving CME
	E.3. AIA and GOES
	E.4. Comment:
		Unlikely the source of disturbance, due to velocity.
