Coronal mass ejections (CMEs) have been a topic of considerable
scientific interest for many years. Despite years of study,
many questions remains unanswered. What is the 3D structure
of CMEs? How do we relate the white-light images of CMEs
near the Sun to the in situ properties of ICMEs? What initiates
CMEs? The STEREO mission promises to yield an impressive array
of images and in situ measurements that can be brought
to bear on these questions. The challenges facing
the solar and heliospheric community is to utilize this data
to unravel the structure and dynamics of CMEs.
In this talk we will use 3D MHD simulations of CMEs to
illustrate some of the challenges we face in deducing the
structure of CMEs from 3 different viewpoints. We will
discuss how models may help to reduce these uncertainties.
