The excursion of the ULYSSES spacecraft to higher latitudes is characterized by the entry into the unipolar magnetic field region of the southern coronal hole, accompanied by a solar wind structure different from low solar latitudes. The resulting corotating interaction region has a pronounced influence on the daily averaged counting rates of nuclei in the rigidity range of several GV. During this part of the trajectory, intensities averaged over one solar rotation increase continuously with time (apart from a plateau-like period). To which extent this is due to latitudinal effects or to temporal and radial variation will be discussed in an accompanying paper.
