<div>The FP7 Heliospheric Cataloguing, Analysis and Technique Service (HELCATS) project capitalises on European expertise in heliospheric imaging built up over the last decade, particularly by lead involvement in NASA’s STEREO mission, whilst also exploiting the vast wealth of long established European expertise in such areas as solar and coronal imaging, as well as the interpretation of in-situ and radio measurements of solar wind phenomena.<br></div><div><br></div><div>The CME kinematics catalogue HIGeoCat builds on the HCME_WP2 identified CME list <a href="https://doi.org/10.6084/m9.figshare.5803152.v1">https://doi.org/10.6084/m9.figshare.5803152.v1</a>.</div><div>Where possible, time elongation tracks are</div><div>extracted for each CME along a defined position angle corresponding approximately to the apex of the CME. Single spacecraft geometric fitting techniques (see Davies et al., 2012; doi:10.1088/0004-637X/777/2/167) are used to determine the kinemtatic properties (direction, speed and launch time) for three dierent simple assumptions of the CME morphology. The result is a</div><div>super-set of the HCME_WP2 catalogue containing both the observed parmeters and the derived kinematics. </div><div><br></div><div>This is version: 05 of the catalogue, released 2018-01-19. (DOI: <a rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">10.6084/m9.figshare.5803176</a>). The catalogue is based on version 5 of the WP2 catalog (DOI: 10.6084/m9.figshare.5803152) . The latest version includes events to end of September 2017 on Stereo-A. Note that there is an approximately 1 year gap in Stereo-A data from October 2014 while the spacecraft was behind the Sun. Data from Stereo-B is not available after Septmeber 2014 since contact with the spacecraft has not yet been re-established.</div
