Description:
This thesis reports on the three-dimensional analysis of coronal mass ejections (CMEs) in order to answer questions about their morphology and to derive their three-dimensional geometry. The questions are about the detailed 3-D structure, orientation and position of CMEs which are observed near the Sun (10 - 20 solar radii) with coronagraphs of the STEREO mission. The Sun as main actor for space weather and in particular as source of CMEs raises many exciting unanswered questions. Some of these about the CME's geometry are treated in this thesis. Getting a better understanding of CMEs is ve...
