Using incompressible magnetohydrodynamics, some important information on the nature of the MHD turbulence observed in the trailing edges of high velocity streams in the solar wind is derived. It is shown that this turbulence is characterized, to a good degree, by the absence of nonlinear wave interactions and that it is necessarily a mixture of modes with polarization of Alfvenic and slow magnetosonic types. A theoretical model of MHD turbulence, satisfying some observational constraints, is used to calculate a variance matrix and interpret the main results of the minimum variance analysis of magnetic data.
