WSM CMEs observed by LASCO, taken from
Preliminary 1999 SOHO LASCO Coronal Mass Ejection List

Note: List is from August 4 --> September 28,  adding 14 days on either side of WSM3 time period in order to include CMEs occuring on the back of the sun.

Highlighted dates correspond with the disk passage of the sigmoid, +/- 14 days.  Highlighted and colored dates are those in the right general position to be potentially associated with the sigmoid (note that this has yet to be carefully checked - and that CMEs can go off in directions not immediately obvious from the location of their source).  Highlighted, colored, and big events are those that have been clearly connected to the sigmoid active region (AR8668).
