Abstract
A reference catalogue of 430 well-defined high-speed plasma streams detected in solar-wind observations from 1972 to 1984 is presented. We have given the main characteristics of the streams as the beginning time and the duration of the stream, the interplanetary magnetic field polarity, etc. We have also separated them with respect to their origin into two categories: the corotating and the flare-generated streams. As a first application of this useful catalogue, a correlative study between the maximum speed of streams and the A p -index of geomagnetic activity is carried out.
