Observations suggest that solar coronal mass ejections (CMEs) are closely associated with reconnection-favored flux emergence, which was explained as the emerging flux trigger mechanism for CMEs by Chen and Shibata (2000) based on numerical simulations. This paper presents a parametric survey of the CME-triggering environment. Our numerical results show that whether the CMEs can be triggered depends on both the amount and the location of the emerging flux. The results are useful for space weather forecast.To search for other articles by the author(s) go to: http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abstract_service.html
