There has been substantial interest in the coronal wave phenomena since its discovery several years ago using the EUV Imaging Telescope onboard SOHO (Thompson et al. 1999). One of the first explanations was that finally the coronal part of the Moreton wave had been discovered. Since then, there have been a number of results giving different explanations. We will discuss these in this paper along with the latest results on coronal waves from a spectroscopic perspective.
