Description:Primarily as a matter of record, this note documents an investigation which was directed at understanding a problem which existed in the operational primitive equation model of the National Meteorological Center (NMC) prior to August 23, 1971. A diagnostic study of the performance of the six-layer model revealed a persistent type of error in the forecasts. It manifested itself as an initial increase in kinetic energy with an ensuing ten-hour period oscillation. Part of the generating mechanism of this feature was found to reside in the method of data initialization.
