  abstract = {{T}he purposes of this study are to characterize differences in the time/space structure of various multiyear surface wind products for the {T}ropical {P}acific and to quantify the impact these differences may have on our ability to model oceanic wind-forced variability on seasonal and interannual time scales. {T}hree coincident wind field analyses are used, viz. the {F}lorida {S}tate {U}niversity ({FSU}) subjective analysis, the {U}niversity of {H}awaii ({SAWIN}) subjective analysis and the {F}leet {N}umerical {O}ceanography {C}enter ({FNOC}) operational analysis. {T}he five years chosen for study, 1979-1983, encompass three years of a fairly regular seasonal cycle leading up to the 1982-1983 {E}l {N}ino. {A} linear multi-vertical model is forced with these analyses; model dynamic height and sea level are then compared with observations based on expendable bathythermograph and island tide gauge data. {T}he mean seasonal cycle prior to {E}l {N}ino (1979-1981) is considered first, which then serves as a self-consistent basis for analyzing the interannual variability, particularly the significant anomalies about the mean in 1982-1983},
