  abstract = {{A} wind-forced linear model has been used to produce 21 years (1964--1984) of monthly time series of surface dynamic height in the {E}quatorial {A}tlantic. {T}heclimatological seasonal cycle is substracted, and the statistical characteristics of the residuals are analyzed. {A}n empirical orthogonal function analysis reveals that the most significant pattern has deviations of one sign in the {W}estern {E}quatorial {A}tlantic. {T}he anomalies in the last 2 years, 1983 and 1984, are particularly large. {T}he time component of the first empirical orthogonal function peaks in july 1983, changes sign at the end of 1983, and has an extremun of the opposite sign in {A}pril 1984. {A}t that time, the zonal slope of dynamic height had reversed with respect to normal along the equator.
