An Assessment of the Primary Sources of Spread of Global Warming Estimates from Coupled Atmosphere–Ocean Models (2008, background): “These numbers are comparable with those of the AR4 equilibrium climate sensitivity estimates derived from 18 atmospheric GCMs coupled to slab oceans (3.3° 0.7°C; see Meehl et al. 2007).”
CMIP5 historical simulations (1850–2012) with GISS ModelE2 (2014, methodology): “Radiative forcing by long-lived greenhouse gases was calculated with the previous (CMIP3) version of ModelE and compared to fluxes derived from line-by-line (LBL) models with substantially greater spectral resolution [Collins et al., 2006].”
Precipitation, radiative forcing and global temperature change (2010, background): “The radiative forcing of both CO2 and CH4 increases with height throughout the troposphere [Collins et al., 2006], hence it is mostly absorbed in the atmosphere and R 1.”
Tropospheric Adjustment Induces a Cloud Component in CO2 Forcing (2008, background): “Radiative forcing at the surface caused instantaneously by doubling of CO2 is much smaller than at the TOA (Collins et al. 2006) because the atmosphere is fairly opaque in the longwave.”
An observationally based energy balance for the Earth since 1950 (2009, background): “Several authors have shown that global climate models can explain the main features of ocean heat uptake if they include the effects of recent large volcanic eruptions[Levitus et al., 2001;Barnett etal., 2005; Church et al., 2005; Delworth et al., 2005; Hansen et al., 2005; Domingues et al., 2008].”
Dangerous human-made interference with climate: a GISS modelE study (2006, background): “Comparisons so far include the ocean’s thermohaline circulation (Sun and Bleck, 2006), the ocean’s heat uptake (Forest et al., 2006), the atmosphere’s annular variability and response to forcings (Miller et al., 2006), and radiative forcing calculations (Collins et al., 2006).”
