  Dear Doug,
     I have done some searching in files - all from the period 1990-1998.
  This is the time when we were in contact with a number of NMSs. We
  have also got datasets from fellow scientists and other institutes
  around the world. All supplied data (eventually and sometimes at cost),
  but we were asked not to pass on the raw data to third parties, but we
  could use the data to develop products (our datasets) and use the data
  in scientific papers.

      It is likely that some of the NMSs and Institutes have changed their
  policies now - and that the people we were corresponding with (all by
  regular mail or fax) are no longer there or are in different sections.

     The lists below don't refer to all the stations within these countries,
  nor to all periods, but to some of the data for some of the time.

   The NMSs

  Germany, Bahrain, Oman, Algeria, Japan, Slovakia and Syria

   Scientists/Institutes (data for these countries)

  Mali, India, Pakistan, Poland, Indonesia, Democratic Republic of 
the Congo (was Zaire),
  Sudan and some Caribbean Islands.

  These are the only ones I can find evidence for. I'm sure there were a few
  others during the 1980s, but we have moved buildings twice since 1980.

   Not sure how you will use this data.
