A solar wind velocity which increases toward the solar poles, or a solar wind flux which decreases toward the poles, or both, can produce polar enhancements in observed, resonantly scattered L-alpha from the interstellar hydrogen gas. Recently Broadfoot and Kumar have reported observations of polar enhancements in L-alpha. Through the use of a simple model, we estimate the magnitude of the latitudinal variations in the solar wind which are necessary to account for such enhancements.
