“…Compilation of the kinematics of other events observed by EUVI and AIA showed either waves experiencing significant deceleration in their early stages (e.g., Kozarev et al, 2011;Ma et al, 2011;Muhr et al, 2011;Warmuth and Mann, 2011) or waves with ≈ constant speeds (e.g., Kienreich, Temmer, and Veronig, 2009;Ma et al, 2009;Patsourakos et al, 2009;Patsourakos and Vourlidas, 2009;Temmer et al, 2011;Kienreich et al, 2011;Liu et al, 2010;Warmuth and Mann, 2011). Irrespective of their initial speeds or deceleration profiles, these waves ended up travelling within a rather narrow speed range of 180-380 km s −1 which is consistent with the fast mode speed over the quiet Sun (e.g., Wang, 2000;Wu et al, 2001;Cohen et al, 2009;Schmidt and Ofman, 2010;Downs et al, 2011;Zhao et al, 2011).…”
