A search for the coronal origins of fast solar wind streams during the whole sun month period

The solar wind streams observed from the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO) and Ulysses, WIND spacecraft during the whole solar month are discussed. These solar wind streams, with speeds in excess of 500 km/s, were detected from 10 August to 8 September 1996. The data covering Carrington rotations 1912 and 1913 are presented. The magnetic field azimuthal angle observations at 1 AU from WIND show that all the streams are associated with outward fields near the sun. The stream structure near 320 deg was associated with the central meridian passage of a coronal hole. The Fe XIV ground based observations show a region of low intensity in the zero to 170 deg longitude. The question of whether the streams arise from equatorial features or represent flows coming from higher latitude features is not solved.
