The purpose of this document is to suggest a strategy for constructing standard diagnostics of the diurnal cycle from both climate model and observational data products. The guiding philosophy is “keep it simple,” in the hope that a diagnostic software package can be readily constructed and widely used. Of course this means that the output of the package will form only the beginning of necessary examination of the diurnal cycle in models and in the real world.
