Scientific paper

A comprehensive list is presented of the solar wind oxygen and carbon charge states and abundances measured in all magnetosheath periods during the lifetime of the AMPTE/CCE satellite, 1984-1988. A surprisingly variable C/O ratio is found. The variations seem to be strongly correlated to the source temperature in the corona where the solar wind responsible for the particular flow originated.
