Abstract
Example results are shown for the proposed aqua‐planet experiments using a version of The Met Office Unified Model (UM). The zonal mean circulation exhibits strong sensitivity to the latitudinal distribution of sea‐surface temperatures (SST). Longitudinal variation of SST yields information on the linearity and distribution of the convective response. Copyright © 2001 Royal Meteorological Society.

## 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‐surfac
