Abstract. A periodically synchronous scheme suitable for coupling atmosphere and ocean models with high internal variability is presented. The performance of the scheme is tested by means of a simple zero-dimensional non-linear energy balance model with stochastic forcing. The equilibrium behaviour and the response to changes in the model parameters are analysed. The response experiments are similar to CO2 doubling and transient CO2 experiments. The best results are obtained using a method with weighted means of the air-sea fluxes which are calculated during the synchronously coupled periods.
