Had something similar recently: The wind given by tower differed to the airplanes ND, and I (PNF) constantly checked the GS indication against Vref. As far as I know, the GS is computed differently from the wind, thus more exact.

How would you handle that? Go around for high GS or rely on the wind to change to the tower wind?
