Characterizing Interplanetary Coronal Mass Ejection-related Forbush Decreases at Mercury Using MESSENGER Observations: Identification of a One- or Two-step Structure

The large-scale magnetic structure of interplanetary coronal mass ejections (ICMEs) has been shown to cause decreases in the galactic cosmic ray (GCR) flux measured in situ by spacecraft, known as Forbush decreases (Fds). We use measurements of the GCR count rate obtained by NASA’s MErcury Surface,...
