Figure 1: Solar Wind Relative Abundances to Photospheric Abundances as a Function of First Ionization Potential (FIP). Note that the vaiability for elements with FIPs less sthan 10 eV is significantly larger than that for the higher FIP elements. The AMPTE data that are for coronal hole flows show a smaller overabundance below 10 eV than the other measurements.

 
Figure 2: O/Ne as a function of Ne/Mg for a variety of coronal structures. Neon and magnesium are chosen because they are representative of high and low FIP elements. The open circles are spectroscopic determinations for various structures and events in the photosphere. Determinations from SWICS, AMPTE, and the ICI are also shown. There is a good deal of scatter in the data, however the individual determinations tend to cluster about either the photosphere or coronal (SEP) values. References for the data shown are given below. The following abreviations have been used: ``SBC'' for Sector Boundary Crossing, ``Cloud'' for Magnetic Cloud, ``CME'' for Coronal Mass Ejection and ``BDS'' for Bi-Directional Streaming Events.
