Abstract:

X2.6/1B occurred at 0905 UT on 9 July 1996. A large CME was observed associated with this flare at the west solar limb by the LASCO/SOHO. The location of the flare was at S10W30. However, no interplanetary disturbance was observed by Wind satellite near the Earth.

The relationship between the CME and the flare are still controversial. Hence, this event might be a good example to examine the relation between the flare and the CME.

We also have to investigate why the interplanetary disturbance associated with the large CME was not observed at the Earth.
