This catalogue provides the compiled list of Interplanetary coronal mass ejections (ICME) events with an embedded magnetic obstacle (MO) observed by Wind mission over more than 20 years. ICMEs are defined by the net effects that a CMEs displays in the interplanetary medium, detected by in situ instrumentation, with specific imprints in the observations. A MO is defined as the interval within an ICME where the magnetic pressure dominates over the plasma pressure concurrent with a rotation in the magnetic field direction.

Interplanetary Coronal Mass Ejection start time: defined by the IP forward shock (Y) or sheath signatures (--)
Shock (Y) or sheath signatures (--)
Magnetic Obstacle start time
MO characteristics:
Flux-Rope (F-/Fr/F+): Magnetic field changes monotonically with organized signatures of magnetic structure
(F-) Small field rotation
(Fr) Magnetic field rotation between 90 and 180 degrees
(F+) Large field rotation
Ejecta (E): Magnetic field changes monotonically without clear pattern of changes
Complex (Cx): Indications of more than one magnetic field rotation
End ICME time: defined by the end of the MO
B - Mean magnetic field magnitude value (nT) in the MO interval.
Vsw - Mean Solar Wind Bulk velocity (km/s) in the MO interval.
Vexp - Expansion velocity (km/s) in the MO interval.
Dst - Disturbance Storm-Time index (nT).
The minimum reported Dst index in the MO interval except as noted. Data from the World Data Center for Geomagnetism, Kyoto Geomagnetic Equatorial Dst index.
(SA): denotes index values from Slightly After the MO end time if the storm seems to be generated by the trailing region of the ICME.
(P): from Provisional Dst values
(Q): from Quicklook Dst values
