Analysis of the interplanetary magnetic field data obtained by the Sakigake spacecraft at 0.8-1.0 AU shows a distinctive magnetic structure in which the azimuthal and latitudinal angles of field vectors are closely related. The structure, known as a planar magnetic structure (PMS), is described, focusing on the characteristics of the field and plasma parameters within the structure. It is found that the ion number density, ion temperature, and plasma beta are higher in the PMS than in the surrounding plasma. The temporal sequence of a typical PMS event on August 1, 1986 is outlined. Also, consideration is given to the possible origin of these structures.
