  abstract = {{E}quatorial {K}elvin and {R}ossby waves are comprehensively demonstrated over most of the equatorial {P}acific basin, through their signatures in sea level and zonal surface geostrophic current anomalies. {T}his was made possible with altimeter data pertaining to the first year of the {G}eosat ({G}eodetic {S}atellite) 17-day exact repeat orbit ({N}ovember 8, 1986, to {N}ovember 8, 1987). {T}o this end, along-track corrected {G}eosat sea level anomalies ({SLA}s), relative to the time period of interest, were first smoothed using nonlinear and linear filters. {T}he original 17-day time step was then reduced by combining all ascending and descending tracks within 10° longitudinal bands. {F}inally, {SLA}s were gridded onto a regular grid, and low-pass filters were applied in latitude and time in order to smooth out remaining high-frequency noise. {A}nomalies of zonal surface geostrophic current were calculated using the first and second derivatives of the {SLA} meridional gradient, off and on the equator respectively},
