Effect of ocean gateways on the global ocean circulation in the late Oligocene and early Miocene (2006, methodology): “In the CCSM Eocene simulation [ Huber and Sloan, 2001; Huber et al., 2003], the main sites of deepwater formation are in the northern Atlantic and the Tethys but not in the northern Pacific and there is no Antarctic bottom water formation.”
An early Cenozoic perspective on greenhouse warming and carbon-cycle dynamics (2008, background): “Modified ocean heat transport has been investigated and found to be incapable of transporting heat fast enough to compensate for polar heat los”
The challenge of simulating the warmth of the mid-Miocene climatic optimum in CESM1 (2013, background): “…zonal mean OHT to changes in a wide range of boundary condition alterations occurring throughout the Cenozoic robustly shows small changes in OHT, none of which go as far as to explain high latitude warmth (Huber and Sloan, 2001; Krapp and Jungclaus, 2011; Zhang et al., 2013; Haywood et al., 2013).”
The dynamic range of poleward energy transport in an atmospheric general circulation model (2005, background): “of attaining the observed reduction in meridional gradient [Barron, 1987; Huber and Sloan, 2001].”
