The ultra-low frequency power spectra (from 1 nHz to 10 μHz) for the solar wind ion density (N) and speed (SWS) measurements taken near 1 AU, have been examined during the period 1973-2000. Although the spectrum shows remarkable peaks at the wavelengths 0.5, 0.7, 1.0, 1.3 years, additional significant peaks of 2.6 yr and 5.6 yr for N and 9.6 yr for SWS are also found. Possible causes are discussed. The 9.6-yr period is not related to the period of the solar activity cycle, but there is some indication of an association with the coronal hole variations in the southern hemisphere of the Sun. The averages of solar wind ion density showed a periodic variation with three nearly equal peaks at intervals of ~5.1+/-0.2 yr. The long-term enhancements in SWS reflect nearly stable variations and a continuously-existing feature in the heliosphere. The observed long periodicities in both N and SWS spectra may be strongly related to, or organized by, the observed variations in the coronal hole areas between northern and southern hemispheres of the Sun. The timing of the maximum peaks in solar ion densities and speeds spectrum is predicted.
