Abstract
Coronal mass ejections (CMEs) largely influence the space weather and cause geomagnetic perturbations. Hence, the statistical studies pertaining to the occurrence of CMEs over the solar cycles and their consequence at the near-Earth region are extremely important. For an in-depth understanding, such studies need to be carried out considering various observational aspects of CMEs. With this motivation, here we present a statistical study of radio-loud (RL) and radio-quiet (RQ) CMEs during solar cycles 23 and 24. We also assess their geo-effectiveness and analyze their influence on cosmic ray intensity (CRI). The RL and RQ CMEs constitute 40% and 60% cases, respectively, of the total population of CMEs that arrive the near-Earth region at 1 AU. The mean speed of RL CMEs (≈1170 km s−1) was found to be significantly higher (almost twice) than the mean speed of RQ CMEs (≈519 km s−1) in the low corona while their speed became comparable (≈536 km s−1 for RL and ≈452 km s−1 for RQ CMEs) at near-Earth region. The yearly-averaged speeds of Earth-reaching CMEs follow solar cycle variations. The CRI and geomagnetic Dst index are found to have good negative correlation with speed of Earth-reaching CMEs. RL CMEs were found to be more effective in producing CRI depressions and geomagnetic storms (GSs) in comparison to RQ CMEs; in about 70% cases RL CMEs produced CRI depression and GSs earlier than the RQ CMEs. Superposed epoch analysis suggests strongest depression in CRI occurs 2-5 days and 4-9 days after the onset of RL and RQ CMEs, respectively. Further, GS events show a time-lag of 1-5 days and 3-8 days, respectively, with respect to RL and RQ CMEs.
