Abstract This work discusses the formulation and testing of a simplified model of atmospheric dynamics. The model, which has only 200- and 700-mb streamfunctions as its prognostic fields, is designed to have a climate that approximates that of a comprehensive perpetual January general circulation model. Its governing equations are based on a Lorenz-type filtered two-layer model, but its linear terms are replaced by an empirically determined operator; the simplified model is semiempirical. Its basis consists of three-dimensional empirical orthogonal functions that are calculated using a total energy metric. The linear operator is intended to serve as a parameterization of fields, patterns, and dynamics not explicitly represented in the model. The operator is found through an optimization procedure that ensures that the semiempirical model optimally predicts streamfunction tendencies observed to occur in an extended control integration of the general circulation model. It turns out that a model determined i...
