Results of solar wind measurements by different spacecraft are not always in full accord. Such measurements are in general not from one and the same distance r from the sun, nor are they taken at the same phase of the solar activity cycle. One would like to be able to discriminate between spacecraft calibration effects on the one hand, and solar wind variations which reflect true spatial gradients or changing boundary conditions at the sun on the other hand. Accordingly, we examine in this paper the possibility of reconciling the apparent discrepancies.
