Distinctive climate signals in reanalysis of global ocean heat content (2013, background): “5–1 W m in the past two decades, based on observational [Trenberth, 2009; Trenberth et al., 2009; Murphy et al., 2009] and model [Hansen et al.”
The scale problem in quantifying aerosol indirect effects (2011, unknown): “(e.g., Murphy et al., 2009).”
Evaluation of the GECCO2 ocean synthesis: transports of volume, heat and freshwater in the Atlantic (2015, background): “The overall trend in GECCO2 and the three largest minima related to volcanic eruptions compare well to the radiation based estimate by Murphy et al. (2009) (the correspondence to CTRL is weaker).”
The ocean’s role in the transient response of climate to abrupt greenhouse gas forcing (2015, background): “…= 1 Wm−2 K−1, typical of the net global radiative feedback found in coupled models (e.g., Bony et al 2006; Andrews et al. 2012) and in observations (e.g. Murphy et al. 2009), then a damping timescale of SSTanthro is implied of ρcwh ≃ 460 days if h is 10 m, the depth of the upper layer of the model.”
Climate System Response to External Forcings and Climate Change Projections in CCSM4 (2012, background): “4 Wm (Murphy et al., 2009), in the first experiment we multiply the time-evolving sulfate aerosol concentration anomalies after 1950 by 1.5 to produce a forcing of roughly -0.68 Wm , and in the second we multiply by 2.0 after 1950 (Fig. 4b) resulting in a forcing of about -0.90 Wm . Both these forci”
Earth's energy imbalance and implications (2011, background): “More important, it is consistent with an insightful study of Earth’s energy balance based on satellite measurements of reﬂected solar radiation and emitted heat radiation (Murphy et al., 2009), as discussed in Sect.”
Accuracy of Global Upper Ocean Heat Content Estimation Expected from Present Observational Data Sets (2017, background): “An accurate OHC estimation is needed for understanding the global energy balance (Murphy et al. 2009), sea level budget (Lombard et al. 2005; Cazenave and Llovel 2010), and earth system modeling (Watanabe et al. 2010; Yukimoto et al. 2012) for future climate predictions.”
Radiative forcing in the ACCMIP historical and future climate simulations (2013, background): “…methods based on observed temperature changes, ocean heat uptake, and cacluated non-aerosol forcings produce ERF best estimates of−0.8 to−1.6 W m−2 (Murphy et al., 2009; Shindell and Faluvegi, 2009; Church et al., 2011; Hansen et al., 2011), though some find smaller values (e.g. Libardoni and…”
Total aerosol effect: radiative forcing or radiative flux perturbation? (2009, background): “Moreover, replacing the global-mean total anthropogenic aerosol forcing by itsRFP has its merits because it is the overall anthropogenic aerosol flux perturbation that is needed for the global energy balance (Murphy et al., 2009).”
Aerosol indirect effects in a multi-scale aerosol-climate model PNNL-MMF (2011, background): “4 W m−2 (1σ ) based on the examination of the Earth’s energy balance in Murphy et al. (2009).”
Time-Varying Climate Sensitivity from Regional Feedbacks (2012, methodology): “This method has been widely applied to estimate feedbacks and forcing within both models and observations (Forster and Taylor 2006; Forster and Gregory 2006; Gregory and Webb 2008; Andrews and Forster 2008; Williams et al. 2008; Murphy et al. 2009; Boer 2011; Crook et al. 2011; Andrews et al. 2012a;”
