Presented for these 3 stations are monthly, seasonal and annual values
of zonal wind in knots (wind from the east is negative) and
temperature in tenths of a degree Celsius (all temperature negative)
at 50, 30 and 10 mb.

The 50 mb records begin in 1951 at Balboa, 1954 at Singapore and 1958
at Ascension. The 30 mb records begin in 1951 at Balboa, in 1954 at
Singapore and in 1958 at Ascension. The 10 mb records begin in 1958
