MBL = mean boundary layer wind
(fffdd; fff = wind direction in deg and dd = wind speed in kt)
LST WND = height of last wind (meters)
SST = sea surface temperature (tenths of °C).

Note: Sondes 4, 6, 7, 9, 10 had no winds and were not transmitted.
Sondes 25 and 26 were good but were not transmitted because of time constraints.
