  abstract = {{E}quatorial wave dynamics are essential in most oceanic models for reproducing aspects of the {E}l {N}ino-{S}outhern {O}scillation ({ENSO}) phenomenon. {I}n this paper, observational evidence of first baroclinic equatorial {K}elvin and first symetric meridional {R}ossby waves is found in {G}eosat-derived sea level anomalies ({SLA}) and surface zonal current anomalies ({ZCA}) in the {E}quatorial {P}acific ocean during the 1986-1987 {E}l {N}ino and the ensuing 1988-1989 {L}a {N}ina. {T}his was made possible after extensive quality control and specific processing of the recently improved {G}eosat geophysical data records pertaining to the 17-day {E}xact {R}epeat {M}ission. {I}n particular, the processing was made so that the {G}eosat-derived {ZCA} best fit near-surface zonal currents from three {E}quatorial moorings at 165°{E}, 140°{W}, and 110°{W}.
