The occurrence of multiple directional discontinuities in the coronal
streamer belt at sector boundary crossings in the heliosphere, often a
scribed to waves or kinks in the heliospheric current sheet, may alter
natively be attributed to a network of extended current sheets from mu
ltiple helmet streamers with a hierarchy of sizes at the base of the c
orona. Frequent transient outflows from these helmets can account for
a variety of signatures observed at sector boundaries, including order
ed field rotations, planar magnetic structure, and sandwichlike plasma
structure.
