Open AccessThe Heliospheric Plasma Sheet Observed in situ by Three Spacecraft over Four Solar Rotations
In this paper we present in situ observations of the heliospheric plasma sheet (HPS) from STEREO-A, Wind, and STEREO-B over four solar rotations in the declining phase of Solar Cycle 23, covering late March throu...
