Abstract

Heliospheric spacecraft occasionally encounter consecutive high-speed streams that map to two different solar source regions with the same magnetic polarity. The low-speed wind between the two streams has many similarities to the plasma sheets commonly observed between high-speed streams, except that there is no current sheet. We have studied several such plasma sheets observed with the Ulysses spacecraft during the fast, pole-to-pole latitude scans in 1995 and 2001 and with ACE. Common features are large amplitude tangential discontinuities, regions of low entropy, some very low helium abundances, and magnetic holes.
