CME kinematics based on STEREO A/EUV and coronagraph images. Panel a: CME height (blue dots) together with error bars and radio emission heights. The corresponding line shows the smoothed height-time profile. HF-type II heights are obtained using a 3.5-fold Saito, while the LF-type II heights are obtained using 1-fold, 4-fold, 6-fold, and 8-fold Leblanc based on radio triangulation results discussed in Sect. 9. Panel b: CME velocity and panel c: acceleration profile obtained by numerical differentiation of the data points (circles) and the smoothed curves (lines). The shaded areas represent the error ranges obtained from the smoothed curves. Panel d: GOES soft X-ray flux and it’s derivative. The red vertical line denotes the peak of the GOES derivative
