During the period Jan. 1991 through Dec. 1992 the Ulysses spacecraft remained close to the plane of the heliographic equator, and moved through several AU in heliospheric range. This period also saw a considerable evolution in solar activity making it ideal for the study of the effects of solar wind structures on the interplanetary magnetic field (IMF). In this study we examine distributions of the azimuthal magnetic field angle Φ, and two-dimensional distributions of Θ and φ, the elevation and azimuthal magnetic field directions. We show that the presence of coronal mass ejections (CMEs) in the data produce interesting structure in the IMF distributions and that the flow deflections associated with solar wind stream interfaces produce significant, effects in the distributions and produce a correlation between the angles Θ and φ. Deflections in the IMF are seen far from the stream interface, and may fill the whole interstream region. We also discuss the effects on the statistical properties of IMF distributions produced by such structures.
