The Ulysses mission covers an extensive data base which includes an in-ecliptic phase (Oct 1990 - Feb 1992), a southern hemisphere polar pass (with a southernmost point of 80 deg S heliographic latitude reached in Sept 1994). and a south to north transit passing through the ecliptic plane (March 1995). The Solar Wind Ion Composition Spectrometer measures solar wind ion composition, including charge state composition. for all types of solar wind flows. In-ecliptic measurements of the charge states of solar wind heavy ions in transient-related solar wind. such as solar wind associated with coronal mass c ejections (CMEs), typically indicate hotter than normal coronal temperatures. This distinction is not as prevalent for higher latitude observations. In this paper, we present temporal and latitudinal variations in the charge state composition of Oxygen, Silicon, and Iron for several transient-related solar wind events.
