AB: The twin STEREO observatories were launched in October 2006. The PLASTIC experiment onboard both spacecraft analyzes ions with energies between 0.25 and 80 keV/charge, including solar wind protons. Information on bulk properties such as density, speed, and temperature are obtained. In early 2007 STEREO A was separated from SOHO, ACE, WIND, and STEREO B by hundreds of earth radii within the ecliptic plane, and by tens of earth radii out of the ecliptic plane. We report on comparisons of bulk parameters between these spacecraft, and what they show us about small-scale temporal and spatial variations in the solar wind.
