Abstract
AN opportunity has recently occurred of making a series of measurements of the velocity and direction of the wind at a height of 30 km. Previous determinations of the wind at great heights have generally consisted of a few individual observations ; but in the present instance an extended series of measurements has shown a striking annual variation of the wind in this region.
