In particular we are interested in latitude dependences and in the comparison of OVI spectra with Lyman-alpha spectra we get from previous observations. Moreover SOHO/UVCS remote sensing spectra will be compared with Ulysses/SWOOPS spectra detected in situ, in order to study possible radial dependences during the propagation of the solar wind.
