Propagating Conditions and the Time of ICME Arrival: A Comparison of the Effective Acceleration Model with ENLIL and DBEM Models
The Effective Acceleration Model (EAM) predicts the Time-of-Arrival (ToA) of the Coronal Mass Ejection (CME) driven shock and the average speed within the sheath at 1 AU. The model is based on the assumption t...
