• Contributions of external forcings to Southern Annular Mode trends (2006, background): “…all forcings are combined, the PCM is able to reproduce most features of the time series of globally averaged surface temperature over the twentieth century (Meehl et al., 2003, 2004; Ammann et al. 2003), which is a similar result to other state-of-the-art coupled models (e.g., Stott et al. 2000).”
• An assessment of three alternatives to linear trends for characterizing global atmospheric temperature changes (2004, unknown): “…periods of quasi-linear change in global surface temperature, with differing trends during different periods, including one period with little or no change [Delworth and Knutson, 2000; Zwiers and Weaver, 2000; Stott et al., 2000; Hansen et al., 2002; Meehl et al., 2003; Broccoli et al., 2003].”
• A monthly and latitudinally varying volcanic forcing dataset in simulations of 20th century climate (2003, background): “…(or both) are the main contributors to the observed global warming in the first half of the 20th century, and that radiative forcing from anthropogenic sources was primarily responsible for the observed late 20th century warming [Stott et al., 2000; Mitchell et al., 2001; Meehl et al., 2003].”
• Internal and forced climate variability during the last millennium: a model-data comparison using ensemble simulations (2005, background): “In order to simulate the observed warming of the last century, it has been necessary to include also anthropogenic forcings (e.g., Crowley, 2000; Stott et al., 2000; Bertrand et al., 2002; Meehl et al., 2002).”
• Patterns of tropospheric response to solar variability (2003, methodology): “Global circulation models have been used to estimate the atmospheric effects of a variable solar total or UV irradiance [e.g., Haigh, 1999; Shindell et al., 1999; Meehl et al., 2003].”
• Solar Influence on Global and Regional Climates (2012, methodology): “…warming over the 20th century in response to solar forcing alone than for greenhouse gas forcing alone (Cubasch et al. 1997; Broccoli et al. 2003; Meehl et al. 2003, 2004; Tett et al. 1999, 2002); (c) in combination, the greenhouse effect on surface temperatures is dominant over the solar effect…”
• SOLAR INFLUENCES ON CLIMATE (2010, background): “…2004; Shindell et al., 1999, 2006] (see section 4.2) tends to suggest strengthened tropical convection with poleward shifted ITCZ and SPCZ at Smax, as do the “bottom‐up” mechanisms (based on solar heating of the sea surface and dynamically coupled air‐sea interaction [Meehl et al., 2003, 2008]).”
• Aerosol Properties and Processes: A Path from Field and Laboratory Measurements to Global Climate Models (2007, methodology): “particles using three-dimensional distributions from “offline” simulations with chemical transport models (e.g., Meehl et al. 2003; Delworth et al. 2006; Collins et al. 2006; Meehl et al. 2006).”
• Solar radiative output and its variability: evidence and mechanisms (2004, background): “…and oceans are strongly wavelength dependent, as are the processes through which climate responds to radiative input changes, involving atmospheric constituents such as water vapour and ozone, surface properties such as sea ice and snow cover, and most importantly clouds (e.g. Meehl et al., 2003).”
• Recent oppositely directed trends in solar climate forcings and the global mean surface air temperature (2007, background): “These studies have detected a solar contribution to global temperature rise in the first half of the twentieth century: a contribution that implies some form of amplification of the solar radiative forcing variation (Cubasch et al. 1997; Stott et al. 2000, 2003; North & Wu 2001; Douglass & Clader 20”
