The Whole Heliosphere Interval (http://ihy2007.org/WHI/) is an international observing and coordinated modeling effort to characterize the interconnections of the 3-dimensional sun-heliosphere-planetary system originating from Carrington Rotation 2068. WHI takes place one solar cycle after the "Whole Sun Month" campaign of 1996. Both WSM and WHI covered the sun and heliosphere near solar minimum conditions, providing a basis for comparison from one solar cycle to the next. The primary goals for WHI include the characterization and modeling in 3D of the solar minimum heliosphere, and to trace the affects of solar structure and activity via the solar wind to Earth, other planetary systems, and the outer heliosphere. Team participants address solar, heliospheric, geospace, planetary systems, space weather, and sun-climate observations and models. In this talk, we provide a "first results" summary of the heliospheric observations portion of WHI. At this writing, the heliospheric observations are expected to include modeling as well as measurements from L1 (ACE, SOHO, Wind), other solar longitudes near 1 AU (STEREO A, STEREO B), remote sensing from Earth or near-Earth (Ooty Radio Observatory, SMEI, EISCAT), out-of-the ecliptic (Ulysses), and from the outer heliosphere (Voyager, IBEX). For Voyager and IBEX, the observing interval extends until the affects originating from CR 2068 reach the outer heliosphere, several months later.
