The prevailing winds exist at all altitudes from the ground to the jet stream and above. Speeds vary significantly by altitude and weather pattern. If you are asking specifically right at 90deg and 0deg, theoretically the answer is zero as that should be pure vertical motion.

Dec 19, 2022 at 16:10 comment added Michael D Mays What are the altitude of the easterly winds at the poles and equator?
Dec 19, 2022 at 11:05 comment added Pilothead Direction of the jet streams and prevailing winds depends on latitude, so easterly flights only take longer between +-30 and 60 degrees. The opposite is true closer to the poles and equator. see aviation.stackexchange.com/questions/2549/…
