Abstract

To assist model intercomparison and development of a set of eight numerical experiments is proposed as a test-bed for the interaction of dynamics and physical parameterizations in atmospheric GCMs. The framework for the experiments is that of an aqua-planet and the prescribed sea-surface temperatures (SSTs) are highly idealized.
