Abstract This review emphasizes the large scale, global aspects of the solar wind flow at large heliocentric distances and how that structure derives from coronal and interplanetary phenomena. Particular attention is paid to the solar cycle variation, and speculation on its three-dimensional manifestations in the outer heliosphere is offered. Solar cycle variations in the global solar wind structure may lead to systematic variations in the dynamical properties of the interplanetary medium which may have a significant effect upon galactic cosmic ray modulation and the three-dimensional shape of the heliospheric termination shock.
