The purpose of this study is to characterize differences in the time/space structure present among conventionnal descriptions of the tropical Pacific surface wind field, and in turn, to quantify the impact of these differences on our ability to model the dominant wind-forced variability of the tropical Pacific ocean on seasonal and interannual time scales. A linear, multiple vertical mode ocean model is used as a transfer function to determine the influence of three distinct surface wind stress products for the period 1979-1983. This five-year period was chosen for study because it encompasses three years of a fairly regular seasonal cycle leading up to the 1982-83 El Nino for which there are several coincident oceanic and surface wind data sets. The three years of a fairly regular seasonal cycle leading up to the 1982-83 El Nino for which there are several coincident oceanic and surface wind data sets.
