The existence of singly ionized interplanetary ions, both in the form of suprathermal keV-particles convected with the solar wind and MeV anomalous cosmic ray particles, has been observationally well confirmed in past years. In present theories, these ion species are ascribed to the ionization of neutral interstellar atoms during their traversal through the inner heliosphere. As far as charge exchange processes and electron impact ionizations by solar wind ions and electrons are involved, it is proven that the associated ionization frequencies, local ion production rates, and resulting suprathermal ion fluxes are strongly influenced by the actually prevailing solar wind type. According to a detailed analysis, all the relevant properties of suprathermal H(+)- and He(+)-ions are substantially dependent on the solar wind history that precedes the measurements.
