A study of the kinematics and arrival times of CMEs at Earth, derived fromtime-elongation maps (J-maps) constructed from STEREO/Heliospheric Imager (HI)observations, provides an opportunity to understand the heliospheric evolutionof CMEs in general. We implement various reconstruction techniques, based onthe use of time-elongation profiles of propagating CMEs viewed from single ormultiple vantage points, to estimate the dynamics of three geo-effective CMEs.We use the kinematic properties, derived from analysis of the elongationprofiles, as inputs to the Drag Based Model for the distance beyond which theCMEs cannot be tracked unambiguously in the J-maps. The ambient solar wind intowhich these CMEs, which travel with different speeds, are launched, isdifferent. Therefore, these CMEs will evolve differently throughout theirjourney from the Sun to 1 AU. We associate the CMEs, identified and tracked inthe J-maps, with signatures observed in situ near 1 AU by the WIND spacecraft.By deriving the kinematic properties of each CME, using a variety of existingmethods, we assess the relative performance of each method for the purpose ofspace weather forecasting. We discuss the limitations of each method, andidentify the major constraints in predicting the arrival time of CMEs near 1 AUusing heliospheric imager observations.
