This note describes observations of the solar wind made during February–July 1966 using the interplanetary scintillation technique. The measurements provide the first indication of conditions far from the plane of the ecliptic. Evidence is obtained for an increase of solar wind magnitude at high heliocentric latitudes while the direction is radial within the experimental uncertainty. The plasma density fluctuations that cause scintillation have a scale comparable to the ion cyclotron radius at distances in the range 0.4–0.9 AU from the sun.
