During August 10 through September 8, 1996, a coordinated set of solar and in-situ observations were taken as part of the "Whole Sun Month" (WSM) campaign. Solar wind composition data are available from the WIND/SMS and the Ulysses/SWICS experiments. The WIND spacecraft is located in earth orbit (in-ecliptic, near 1 AU), while Ulysses at this time is at 4.2 AU on the opposite side of the solar disk, at heliographic latitude approx. 28 deg. N. Different solar wind structures are observed by the two spacecraft, corresponding to different solar source regions (see Lazarus et al., this session), which are illustrated by solar images provided by the EIT experiment on the SoHO spacecraft. In this paper, we present and compare the charge state compositions of the solar wind observed during this time interval and relate these results to the coronal temperatures of the solar source regions.
