Aircraft and rawinsonde (300, 250, and 200mb) observations
over the tropical Pacific were analyzed to produce monthly grids
of wind at approximately 250mb for the periods January 1966 to
September 1968 and August 1970 to December 1973. The grid has
a resolution of 2.5 degrees and runs from 30S to 45N latitude
and 75E to 70W longitude.
