The present investigation is mainly concerned with isolating the effects of wave-wave coupling on the growth of planetary-scale baroclinic modes of zonal wavenumber 1-3. It is shown that a global distribution of amplifying intermediate-scale baroclinic modes can cause rapid growth of planetary-scale modes. The growth rates of the planetary modes are found to be comparable to the growth rates of the most unstable baroclinic modes during the first 5-10 days. Thereafter the planetary waves continue to grow (albeit at a slower rate and not necessarily monotonically), and do not exhibit a decay phase as pronounced as that which is characteristic of the intermediate-scale modes.
