A list of 45 Interplanetary Coronal Mass Ejections taken from the HELCATS HIGeoCat catalog (https://www.helcats‐fp7.eu/catalogues/wp3_cat.html) that were also observed as Forbush decreases with the Radiation Assessment Detector (RAD) on the Mars Science Laboratory rover during its flight to Mars (November 2011 - August 2012) and on the surface of Mars (since August 2012). The table contains references to the ICME identifiers from the HIGeoCat catalog, results from HIGeoCat for the ICME speed and longitude determined using the self-similar expansion fitting method (SSEF), the longitudinal separations to MSL as well as Earth and the ICME arrival time (Forbush decrease onset) at MSL. 14 events during periods of close longitudinal alignment were also seen at Earth, the corresponding arrival time determined from the Forbush decrease at South Pole neutron monitor is then also listed.
