Dependencies of solar wind parameters as a function of latitude are presented and discussed, based on measurements of the Ulysses mission during times of declining or minimum solar activity. The heliosphere is found to be structured into a band of slow solar wind at low latitudes and two large high-speed streams from the polar coronal holes. Only small trends of solar wind parameters with heliolatitude are found within these streams. A small but significant temperature difference is seen between the south and the north polar coronal hole.
