%X Analyses are performed using surface winds derived from the FSU Pacific pseudo-stress fields. Vorticity budget calculations reveal the relative contributions of various terms, and allow simplification of the full momentum equations. Based on the simplified equations, a procedure is developed for estimating surface pressure, and then adjusting the winds. Finally, the winds and pressure are used to infer boundary layer and upper level forcing, within the context of particular model formulations. The results reveal deficiencies in these models, and suggest a convective heating structure different from what is often assumed. (Résumé d'auteur)
