$\begin{figure} \par\includegraphics[width=11.5cm,clip]{0333fig1.eps} \end{figure}$ Figure 1: The kinematics of the leading edges $r_{\rm b}$ ( diamonds), the intensity maximum $r_{\rm m}$ ( squares), and the trailing edges $r_{\rm e}$ ( triangles) of the Moreton waves of a) E5, b) E9, c) E10, and d) E12. For $r_{\rm b}$ , a 2nd degree polynomial least-squares fit is shown. The smaller graphs on the left below the main plots show the development of the wavefront thickness $\Delta r$ (in Mm), while those on the right show the evolution of the maximum intensity $I_{\rm m}$ (in arbitrary units). Linear fits are shown for $\Delta r$ and $I_{\rm m}$ .

Only the first five wavefronts are included. With increasing time, the profiles are plotted in lighter shades of gray. The location of the maximum of the perturbation ( $I_{\rm m}$ ) is indicated byarrows for all profiles.

With increasing time, the profiles are plotted in lighter shades of gray. The location of the maximum downward velocity is indicated by arrows.

$\begin{figure} \par\includegraphics[width=17cm,clip]{0333fig4.eps} \end{figure}$ Figure 4: The vicinity of the active regions associated with E4 (NOAA 8100; top row) and E5 (NOAA 8210; bottom row). Included are ( from left to right) H $\alpha$ images (E4: Hida Observatory; E5: KSO), SOHO/MDI magnetograms, Yohkoh/SXT (taken with the Al.1 filter, corresponding to a peak transmission at $\approx$ 9 Å) and SOHO/EIT (195 Å) images. The magnetograms are linearly scaled between $\pm$ 200 G, while the SXT and EIT frames are logarithmically scaled. On all images, the extrapolated wave source location is shown as a white cross, while the H $\alpha$ images are also overplotted with the Moreton wavefronts and the sectors in which the measurements were carried out.

For convenience, the absolute values of a are used. e), f): Moreton wave onset time delays $\Delta t$ (with respect to $t_{0~{\rm poly}}$ and $t_{0~{\rm pl}}$ ) plotted versus the first measured Moreton wave velocity v₁. Linear fits of the data points are shown, and the correlation coefficients C are indicated.
