. This paper uses white-light measurements made by the SOHO LASCO coronagraph and HA0 Mauna Loa Mk I11 K-coronameter to illustrate the new view of solar wind structure deduced originally from radio occultation mea- surements. It is shown that the density profile closest to the Sun at l. 15 Ro, representing the imprint of the Sun, is carried essentially radially into interplanetary space by small-scale raylike structures that permeate the solar corona and which have only beenthat the fast solar wind origi- nates from the quiet Sun as well as polar coronal holes.
