Using the data of the magnetic field measurements on board the AMPTE/IRM satellite, Short Large Amplitude Magnetic Structures (SLAMS) occurring upstream of the bow shock are statistically investigated. The data analysis and results of these investigations are presented. The SLAMS have typical magnetic amplitudes of 2.6 times the undisturbed field. Within the SLAMS, the magnetic field swings from a quasi-parallel into a quasi-perpendicular geometry. Thus, thermalization processes well known from quasi-perpendicular shocks can locally act in the SLAMS's. Therefore, SLAMS can be regarded as elementary structures of a quasi parallel collisionless shock transition.
