The ejection of rapidly-moving solar material into interplanetary space in association with solar flares has been discussed since 1859, when geomagnetic disturbances and auroral displays followed shortly after the first observation of a flare by Carrington and Hodgson. Until the advent of in situ interplanetary observations in the early 1960's, such discussions were based upon the indirect information regarding interplanetary space that could be inferred from geomagnetic or cosmic ray data. The past decade of space exploration has provided a great deal of direct information regarding the interplanetary effects of solar flares and some quantitative implications regarding the nature of transient coronal disturbances.
