Before STEREO launch mirror mode structures had been found in the solar wind at various heliocentric distances either as isolated holes or trains of magnetic holes. Recenty, STEREO observations of magnetic field have revealed that mirror mode structures are more complex than we thought. In fact, mirror mode structures may appear occasionally in the solar wind as persistent trains of close spaced humps or holes, named “mirror mode storms” (Russell et al., 2009). In this work we use high resolution data from STEREO and make a comparative study of mirror mode trains and storms found in 6 well developed stream interaction regions as well as in the ambient solar wind. We analyze the sizes, shapes, durations of mirror mode waves as well as plasma and magnetic field conditions in the region surrounding mirror mode storms. We also investigate the possible origin of such waves using kinetic dispersion analysis.
