Atmospheric variability on a zonally symmetric planet in the absence of external forcing anomalies is studied. With idealized boundary conditions and by using perpetual equinox solar forcing, a 15-year long stationary time series of the atmosphere is simulated with the NCAR Community Climate Model (CCM0). This provides sufficient time samples for realistic study of the properties of the atmosphere. Zonally averaged and space-time statistics for the surface air temperature field on this planet are presented. In search of a simple statistical model for atmospheric variability, the space-time spectra obtained from the CCM simulation are fitted statistically with a stochastic energy balance model. The space-time spectra for three zonal wavenumbers are found to be fitted satisfactorily by the stochastic model with only five parameters. The ability of the stochastic model for describing atmospheric variability on a more realistic planet can be tested.
