  12. Evolution of magnetic field in this period Central meridian: CR2007_290** degree in Longitude (Sept. 4) Central meridian: CR2008_290** degree in Longitude (Oct. 1) 0464 0488 Central meridian: CR2009_290** degree in Longitude (Oct. 28) 0484 0486 Central meridian: CR2010_290** degree in Longitude (Nov. 25) 0501 **Not usual 180 centering

  13. Evolution of magnetic field in this period Central meridian: CR2007_290 degree in Longitude (Sept. 4) Central meridian: CR2008_290 degree in Longitude (Oct. 1) 0464 0488 Central meridian: CR2009_290 degree in Longitude (Oct. 28) 0484 0486 Central meridian: CR2010_290 degree in Longitude (Nov. 25) 0501

  14. AR0464 (0484, 0501) and large-scale magnetic field CR2007:290: Sept 4 CR2008:290: Oct 1 0464 0464 0464

  15. AR0486, AR0488 and large-scale magnetic field CR2008:290: Oct 1 CR2009:290: Oct 28 0488 0486

  16. Extremely fast halo CMEs and active regions AR0486, together with AR0488, produced a big open field area after they emerged. AR0464 (a.k.a. 0484, 0501) emerged within/close to an area with large-scale open magnetic field . ? The active regions associated with these high speed halo CMEs are closely associated with sources of already open magnetic flux, except AR0498. In this way the open magnetic field provides an avenue for CMEs to blow out.

  17. AR0498 and large-scale magnetic field CR2009:160 0498

  18. Conclusions • The photospheric field changed dramatically in CR 2009; October 2003 • Numerous dramatic high-speed CME’s blasted through the corona and heliosphere • New flux emerged in such a way as to reinforce the existing structure • New open flux regions had easy access to the heliosphere • The ambient large-scale structure of the heliospheric current sheet changed very little! • This is consistent with earlier results of Zhao & Hoeksema, JGR, 1996.
