  abstract = {{A}nalyses are performed using surface winds derived from the {FSU} {P}acific pseudo-stress fields. {V}orticity budget calculations reveal the relative contributions of various terms, and allow simplification of the full momentum equations. {B}ased on the simplified equations, a procedure is developed for estimating surface pressure, and then adjusting the winds. {F}inally, the winds and pressure are used to infer boundary layer and upper level forcing, within the context of particular model formulations. {T}he results reveal deficiencies in these models, and suggest a convective heating structure different from what is often assumed.
