Scientific paper

A review is given of both observational and theoretical results concerning the latitudinal structure of the solar wind and interplanetary magnetic field. Observations are reported on the solar-wind plasma and magnetic fields, obtained both from direct satellite measurements and indirect methods, such as the observation of comet tails, radio scintillations, the study of the polar geomagnetic field and the semiannual variation of geomagnetic activity. Results of theoretical work, both on three-dimensional modelling of the solar wind and on gas-magnetic field interactions in the solar corona, are summarized. Finally, an attempt is made to compare available observations and theories. This points to the open questions which, to be settled, will need direct observations of plasma and magnetic fields at high heliographic latitudes.
