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.
