Relative values of the flow speed (black) and mirrored CR count profiles (teal) for 27 rotations of the recurring CIR (rot1–rot27 from top-left to right bottom, respectively). The y-axis units are % in all subplots for both flow speed and CR counts. The calculated Pearsons correlation coefficient between the two curves, R, are given in the upper left corner of the corresponding subplot. Deviations between the two time-profiles in the rising phase for rotations 1, 18, and 25 are due to ICMEs.
