We compare climate simulations from two models that are identical except that one uses gridpoint techniques and the other spectral techniques for the numerical treatment of atmospheric dynamics. Our purpose is not to determine which technique is better but to indicate the dependence of climate simulation on model numerics. Simulations of a perpetual July are performed using spectral and gridpoint dynamics codes coupled to the Oregon State University model's two-layer atmospheric physics. 31 refs., 28 figs.
