Scientific paper

Recently the launches of a series of spacecraft, such as Yohkoh, SOHO, Ulysses, etc., have greatly extended the observable range and improved the data. The LASCO/SOHO is a coronagraph which can be used to observe the corona of large angle (1.1 - 30 Rsun) with spectrometric ability. Ulysses was planned to get in situ measurements of the solar wind. Many useful information has been obtained from these instruments. Strong evidence for magnetic reconnection between the large scale coronal loops was reported from Yohkoh soft X-ray observations. Joint observations of the LASCO and some other space or groundbased instruments bring new insight and valuable diagnostics of the study of CME. Ulysses data present in situ measurements of both speed and electron density of the solar wind as a function of heliolatitude during its pole-to-pole transit in less than one year, which is very useful for modeling a 3-D picture of heliosphere.
