A process-oriented diagnostic model has been developed, which couples an atmospheric column model to an upper ocean model. In vertical structure and representation of physical processes, the atmospheric model resembles a single horizontal grid point of a general circulation model. It includes vertical transports by convection and turbulent mixing, radiative transfert with interactive clouds, and a complete hydrologic cycle. The ocean model is a simple mixed layer, synchronously coupled to the atmosphere through a surface energy budget computation. Time-dependent observational analyses of horizontal atmospheric transports of momentum, heat and moisture are used to force the coupled model. The model then produces such fields as temperature, humidity, cloudiness and diabetic heating rate components, all as functions of height and time. Sample integrations of the model for test cases in the 1979 indian summer monsoon onset are presented and verified against observations.
