We present both coronal and chromospheric observations of large-scale disturbances associated with a major solar eruption on 2005 September 7. In the. Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellites/Solar X-ray Imager (SXI), arclike coronal brightenings are recorded propagating in the southern hemisphere. The SXI front shows an initially constant speed of 730 km s(-1) and decelerates later on, and its center is near the central position angle of the associated coronal mass ejection (CME) but away from the flare site. Chromospheric signatures of the disturbances are observed in both Mauna Loa Solar Observatory (MLSO)/Polarimeter for Inner Coronal Studies Ha and MLSO/ Chromospheric Helium I Imaging Photometer He I lambda 10830. and can be divided into two parts. The southern signatures occur in regions where the SXI front sweeps over, with the Ha bright front coincident with the SXI front, while the He I dark front lags. the SXI front but shows. a similar kinematics. Ahead of the path of the southern signatures, oscillations of a filament are observed. The northern signatures occur near the equator, with the Ha and He I fronts coincident with each other. They first propagate westward. and then deflect to the north at the boundary of an equatorial coronal hole. Based on these observational facts, we suggest that the global disturbances are associated with the CME lift-off. and show a hybrid nature: a mainly non-wave CME flank nature for the SXI signatures and the corresponding southern chromospheric signatures, and a shocked fast-mode coronal MHD wave nature for the northern chromospheric signatures.
