The Cloud Feedback Model Intercomparison Project (CFMIP) contribution to CMIP6. (2016, methodology): “These experiments were motivated by extensive research in the framework of the aquaplanet experiment (Neale and Hoskins, 2000; Blackburn and Hoskins, 2013) and the particular finding, based on a small subset of models, that the global mean cloud feedback of more realistic model configurations could…”

The Regional Hydroclimate Response to Stratospheric Sulfate Geoengineering and the Role of Stratospheric Heating (2019, methodology): “This configuration is run under perpetual equinox conditions with prescribed SSTs following the “control” profile of (Neale & Hoskins, 2001) plus an idealized zonal asymmetry in the tropics intended to SIMPSON ET AL.”
Mesoscale spectrum of atmospheric motions investigated in a very fine resolution global general circulation model (2008, methodology): “[13] In addition to simulations with the full AFES model we will discuss results from a T639L24 ‘‘aquaplanet’’ run in which the realistic specification of the land-sea distribution and topography is replaced by an all-ocean surface with zonally symmetric and hemispherically symmetric surface tempera”
Interpretation of the positive low-cloud feedback predicted by a climate model under global warming (2013, methodology): “Aqua-planet experiments are also performed, in which the atmospheric model is run in perpetual equinox conditions using a specified, time-invariant distribution of SST zonally-uniform and symmetrical to the equator [the so-called ''QOBS'' distribution proposed by Neale and Hoskins (2000)].”
Factors controlling the position of the Intertropical Convergence Zone on an aquaplanet (2012, background): “(The atmospheric component of the MPI-M Earth: ECHAM6, submitted to Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, 2012), with boundary conditions and forcings based on the specification by Neale and Hoskins [2001].
