We outline the recent in situ radio observations obtained by Ulysses during its second fast latitude scan near the 2001 solar maximum. From ~ 72° N, Ulysses was embedded in a continuous fast wind associated with a northern polar coronal hole. During that period, we enlight the variation of the electron density and thermal temperature with the heliocentric distance and latitude, obtained with the quasi-thermal noise spectroscopy method. Since the scaled mass flux is observed roughly constant, we derive the profile of the electron thermal temperature, assuming a simple power-law model. Indeed, we find that the electron density varies as R-2.0+/-0.1 while the thermal temperature varies as R-0.7+/-0.1, in good agreement with the results obtained in polar coronal holes in 1995 near solar minimum.
