Evaluation of the CMCC eddy‐permitting global ocean physical reanalysis system (C‐GLORS, 1982–2012) and its assimilation components (2016, methodology): “The picture provides also a comparison with estimates using inverse methods (hydrographic profiles and atmospheric reanalyses), in particular from Ganachaud and Wunsch (2000), Ganachaud and Wunsch (2002) and Talley (2008).”
Climate model configurations of the ECMWF Integrated Forecasting System (ECMWF-IFS cycle 43r1) for HighResMIP (2018, background): “As noted above, Atlantic ocean heat transport is higher in ECMWF-IFS-MR and ECMWF-IFS-HR but still lower than estimates derived from hydrographic sections (Ganachaud and Wunsch, 2003).”
Evaluation of CMIP6 DECK Experiments With CNRM‐CM6‐1 (2019, background): “, 2011), Ganachaud and Wunsch (2003), and Trenberth and Caron (2001) but is about 20% larger than the transport simulated by CNRM‐CM5.”
Dynamically and Kinematically Consistent Global Ocean Circulation and Ice State Estimates (2013, background): “Red dots with error bars are estimates from Ganachaud and Wunsch (2002).”
Configuration and assessment of the GISS ModelE2 contributions to the CMIP5 archive (2014, background): “, 2009] Hansen et al. [2011] Church et al. [2011] Dessler [1998] Stachnik and Schumacher [2011] Journal of Advances inModeling Earth Systems 10.”
The GFDL Global Ocean and Sea Ice Model OM4.0: Model Description and Simulation Features (2019, methodology): “Also shown are the implied mean northward Atlantic heat transport derived from air-sea surface heat fluxes using NCEP reanalysis data [Trenberth and Caron, 2001] and the observation-based in situ estimates [Ganachaud and Wunsch, 2003] (G&W).”
The Canadian Earth System Model version 5 (CanESM5.0.3) (2019, background): “CanESM5 produces the expected latitudinal distribution of heat transport but, consistent with a weak MOC, slightly underestimates the transport at 24 N, relative to the inverse estimate of Ganachaud and Wunsch (2003). To the north and south, CanESM5 ocean heat transport falls within the observationa”
Observations, inferences, and mechanisms of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation: A review (2016, background): “Estimates of the magnitude of the subtropical to subpolar throughput range from 13 to 20 Sv [Hall and Bryden, 1982; Roemmich and Wunsch, 1985; Ganachaud and Wunsch, 2003; Willis, 2010], which is roughly 20–25% of the overall transport by the upper layers of the Gulf Stream [Brambilla and Talley,…”
The GFDL Earth System Model Version 4.1 (GFDL‐ESM 4.1): Overall Coupled Model Description and Simulation Characteristics (2020, neutral): “1 is stronger and compares slightly better to observations (Ganachaud & Wunsch, 2003; Trenberth & Caron, 2001) at both 24°N (1.8–1.9 PW) and 19°S (0.8–1.1 PW) than CM4.”
The new GFDL global atmosphere and land model AM2-LM2: Evaluation with prescribed SST simulations (2004, methodology): “…estimates in the Atlantic basin, although it is typically near the low end of the confidence intervals reported for the observed estimates, and in a few cases, such as the Ganachaud and Wunsch (2003) estimates for 248N and 198S, the model lies outside the confidence intervals on the low side.”
