Short Large Amplitude Magnetic Structures (SLAMS) are observed in the upstream region of the quasi-parallel region of the Earth's bow shock. They seem to grow out of the upstream ULF wave field and associated diffusive ions in the foreshock. While convected with the solar wind, SLAMS decelerate and heat the flow. Thus, the quasi-parallel bow shock region could be considered as a patchwork of SLAMS. We present multi-spacecraft measurements of the electric field in SLAMS and the ULF wave field obtained by CLUSTER with the highest instruments' resolution. The relation between both the ULF waves and SLAMS is studied. Furthermore, the shapes and sizes of SLAMS and their spatial distribution are investigated.
