A standard simplification is
an aquaplanet model in which the surface is uniform and «ocean» covered», ie water - saturated, typically with no seasonal cycle.
Ttropical cyclone statistics in the global
aquaplanet model of Ballinger et al 2015 varying the strength of the surface temperature gradient in the tropics.

Methods: To understand the dynamics of the jet stream, the PNNL team started with a simple configuration of the Earth as an
aquaplanet covered only by ocean, using
model versions that are spatially less - detailed and more - detailed.
The moist idealized GCM has a spherical
model surface that is entirely water covered (an «
aquaplanet»).
In the first study, the research team from PNNL and Los Alamos National Laboratory used idealized global
model simulations of the aquaplanet with Model for Prediction Across Scales - Atmosphere (MPAS - A) and Weather Research and Forecasting Model (WRF) to run at low, high and variable resolut

Model (WRF) to run at low, high and variable resolutions.
This simulation with a comprehensive coupled climate
model illustrates and expands upon the dynamics discussed in the context of an
aquaplanet atmosphere - only
model in Merlis and Schneider (2010).
Although their conclusions are broadly consistent with reported observations, the researchers acknowledge that the details differ because of the
model's idealized
aquaplanet setup.
To test the importance of these factors in initiating MJOs, Maloney and Wolding used a modified version of the National Center for Atmospheric Research Community Atmospheric
Model version 3.1 (CAM3) run in
aquaplanet mode.
Here the authors present global
aquaplanet simulations with a low - resolution, nonhydrostatic
model free of convective parameterization, and describe the effect on the global climate of very large rescaling of the vertical acceleration.
