The pros and cons of diffusion, filters and fixers in Atmospheric General Circulation Models (2011, methodology): “A steady-state test case, described in Jablonowski and Williamson (2006a), is used and run for 30 days with (a) no explicit diffusion and (b) the default second-order and fourth-order diffusion using the default coefficients K2 D 2:5 105 m2 s 1 and K4 D 1 1015 m4 s 1.”

A Multiscale Nonhydrostatic Atmospheric Model Using Centroidal Voronoi Tesselations and C-Grid Staggering (2012, methodology): “A standard test for 3D solvers on the sphere is the Jablonowski and Williamson (2006a) baroclinic wave test. We have simulated the baroclinic wave as described in the reference using horizontal mesh resolutions from approximately 480-km cell-center spacing (2562-cell mesh) to approximately 30-km cel”
Evaluation of Global Atmospheric Solvers Using Extensions of the Jablonowski and Williamson Baroclinic Wave Test Case (2013, unknown): “In this paper we compare the performance of MPAS-AH and MPAS-ANH using an extension of the Jablonowski and Williamson (2006, hereafter JW06) case, initialized with the most unstable mode, and optionally including moisture. The normal mode initialization bypasses the initial adjustment process arisin”
The Low-Resolution CCSM4 (2012, background): “Jablonowski and Williamson (2006) found that a low-resolution ﬁnite volume version (4 8 latitude versus 5 8 longitude) was too coarse to resolve baroclinic eddies and, thus, a major barrier to tropospheric climate studies.”
