Abstract: | During the years 1996–2000 solar activity has been gradually rising and is now close to maximum. At the same time the Ulysses spacecraft has performed a north to south traverse of the low latitude regions of the heliosphere and is now once again travelling
through high southerly latitudes. We show some examples and report on the occurence rates of transient solar wind disturbances
which have been identified by their magnetic field signatures. ‘Magnetic clouds’ remain more common at low (compared to high)
latitudes despite the rise in solar activity. However, more events were observed at high latitudes than at solar minimum.
