Scientific paper

In the solar wind, STEREO occasionally observes mirror-mode storms, periods in which small amplitude waves suddenly appear and persist for hours. Two triggers of these storms are high-plasma beta and weak shocks, both consistent with conditions for the growth of mirror-mode waves. The appearance of these waves is quite distinct from the isolated mirror-mode structure that is frequently seen in the solar wind. They have not been reported previously. Here we show three examples of their occurrence.
