Abstract
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.
