Summary
Abstract: The quasi-biennial oscillation (QBO) of wind and temperature in the
tropical stratosphere is defined by zonal winds and temperature at
Balboa, Canal Zone (9N), Singapore (1N), and Ascension Island (8S).
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
at Balboa, 1984 at Singapore and 1958 at Ascension. The data were
obtained from the National Centers for Environmental Prediction of
NOAA.
