Synthetic satellite data at L1 for ICMEs ejected with an initial velocity of 800 km s⁻¹ with varying polarities in different background winds. The green curves represent CMEs in low density background winds, the red curves medium density winds, and the blue curves high density winds. Normal CMEs are shown as solid lines while inverse CMEs are shown as dashed lines. The black dashed line in the two lowest plots represents B_z = 0. Each second plot is a zoom-in on the marked region between grey dashed lines in the plot above.
