Mirror modes waves are commonly observed in planetary magnetosheaths, cometary sheaths, and other plasmas with anisotropic pressure distributions. In this paper we present results derived from observations from many spacecraft that have sampled the Jovian magnetosheath over a wide range of radial distances and local times (Pioneer 10 & 11, Voyager 1 & 2, Ulysses, and Galileo). Several magnetic field signatures are associated with mirror mode waves at Jupiter. The are spikes where the field strength is briefly elevated above a slowly varying background level, dips where the opposite occurs, and other mirror mode waves where there is no clearly defined background field in the wave region. Here we report on the radial distance, local time, and spatial scale size distributions of each of these three magnetic structures. We examine the plasma parameters (Beta, number density, temperature, velocity) associated with each of these magnetic waveforms. We examine the relationship between the properties of the ambient plasma and the presence of waves and their structure.
