Climate Change Projections for the Twenty-First Century and Climate Change Commitment in the CCSM3 (2006, background): “Thus, in addition to changes in the meridional overturning circulation, the strength of the mean circulation also plays a role (Raper et al. 2002; Stouffer 2004; Meehl et al. 2004c).”
Lagrangian ocean analysis: Fundamentals and practices (2018, background): “A number of oceanic processes, however, have time scales that exceed these run times (e.g., England, 1995; Stouffer, 2004; Danabasoglu, 2004).”
Time-Varying Climate Sensitivity from Regional Feedbacks (2012, background): “3c), a pattern of polar-amplified warming emerges in both hemispheres as global climate slowly attains equilibrium with the imposed forcing (Manabe et al. 1991; Holland and Bitz 2003; Stouffer 2004).”
How Much Warming are We Committed to and How Much can be Avoided? (2006, background): “Hence if radiative forcing declines then at the global level, the response to a reduction in forcing will be faster than when radiative forcing was increasing (Stouffer, 2004).”
Irreversible climate change due to carbon dioxide emissions (2009, background): “2 explores how close the modeled temperature changes are to thermal equilibrium with respect to the changing carbon dioxide concentration over time, sometimes called the realized warming fraction (19) (shown for the different peak CO2 cases).”
An observationally based energy balance for the Earth since 1950 (2009, background): “temperature response in about 10 years and an ocean response of centuries [Stouffer, 2004; Knutti et al., 2008].”
Observations, inferences, and mechanisms of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation: A review (2016, background): “…and troposphere (days to weeks), fast responses of the land surface and the ocean’s mixed layer (months to years), and a long-term adjustment of the deeper ocean (decades to millennia) [e.g., Gregory, 2000; Stouffer, 2004; Gregory and Webb, 2008; Held et al., 2010; Andrews et al., 2012].”
OMIP contribution to CMIP6: experimental and diagnostic protocol for the physical component of the Ocean Model Intercomparison Project (2016, background): “The deep ocean is ventilated on multi-centennial timescales (Sen Gupta and England, 2004; Stouffer, 2004) which can lead to drifts in many ocean properties on long timescales (Banks et al.”
Climate Response to External Sources of Freshwater: North Atlantic versus the Southern Ocean (2007, background): “are evidence of the long time scales found in the ocean (Stouffer 2004) and problems with initializing AOGCMs in general (Stouffer and Dixon 1998).”
GFDL's CM2 Global Coupled Climate Models. Part II: The Baseline Ocean Simulation (2006, background): “Manabe et al. (1991) and Stouffer (2004) show that the ocean determines the spatial pattern and temporal scale of response to changes in the surface radiation balance.”
GFDL's CM2 Global Coupled Climate Models. Part I: Formulation and Simulation Characteristics (2006, background): “There are significant subsurface drifts throughout the multiple centuries of the integrations, reflecting the heat stored in the ocean, and it will take many centuries for the full-depth ocean to come into equilibrium (Stouffer 2004).”
Atmospheric bridge, oceanic tunnel, and global climatic teleconnections (2007, background): “GCM study [Stouffer, 2004].”
Volcanic signals in oceans (2009, background): “It is much faster than for penetration of a steady warming signal [Hansen et al., 2005] because sporadic strong volcanic cooling intensifies vertical mixing processes in ocean especially turbulent diffusion, seasonal convection, and overturning [Stouffer, 2004].”
