Short summary
The development of atmospheric and oceanic models in spherical coordinates requires a quantitative assessment of the accuracy of the models’ simulations. Such an assessment tool is developed here based on analytic wave solutions of the linearized shallow-water equations. New error measures are employed which are more relevant then formerly employed error measures for the single-mode simulations used in the proposed test case. Code is supplied for calculating the required initial fields.
