Moreton waves are flare-associated waves seen in Há. They are transients that appear only for a few minutes and have been considered as the intersection of a fast-mode magnetohydrodynamic shock propagating in the corona and the chromosphere. The Há Solar Telescope in Argentina has observed a Moreton wave associated with an X1 flare on March 29, 2014, in the AR 12017. We perform an analysis of the kinematic parameters, the probable onset time and evolution of this particular Moreton wave as well as the associated flare and ejective events, and discuss possible effects in the interplanetary medium.
