A new and inexpensive non-bit-for-bit solution reproducibility test based on time step convergence (TSC1.0)

A test procedure is proposed for identifying numerically significant solution changes in evolution equations used in atmospheric models. The test issues a <q>fail</q> signal when any code modifications or computing environment changes lead to solution differences that exceed the known ti...
