Coupled climate model simulation of Holocene cooling events: oceanic feedback amplifies solar forcing (2006, background): “Our estimate is probably at the upper limit of realistic estimates (e.g., Wang et al., 2005) of the changes from periods with almost no sunspots to periods of relatively high solar activity.”
Climate and carbon-cycle variability over the last millennium (2010, background): “Variations in Total Solar Irradiance (TSI) over the last centuries have recently been argued to be much smaller than previously thought (Wang et al., 2005; Krivova et al., 2007, Gray et al., 2010).”
Configuration and assessment of the GISS ModelE2 contributions to the CMIP5 archive (2014, background): “[Wang et al., 2005b], updates to include more recent years, the inclusion of orbital forcing (which is a small effect on these time scales, but is included for consistency with longer simulations over the last millennium), and the switch toward simulations driven by emissions, rather than…”
ON THE WEAKENING OF THE POLAR MAGNETIC FIELDS DURING SOLAR CYCLE 23 (2009, methodology): “As in Wang et al. (2005), active regions are represented by large BMRs having strengths of 5 × 1022 Mx and longitudinal pole separations of 15◦; their initial axial tilts γ relative to the east–west line vary with latitude according to sin γ = 0.5 sin |L| (see, e.g., Wang & Sheeley 1991).”
The Maunder minimum (1645–1715) was indeed a grand minimum: A reassessment of multiple datasets (2015, methodology): “Wang et al. (2005) reconstructed the TSI from the magnetic ﬂux evolved by a ﬂux transport simulation (Sheeley 2005).”
Evidence of a long-term trend in total solar irradiance (2009, neutral): “Both Wang et al. (2005) and Krivova et al. (2007) use either the total photospheric magnetic field or the sum of the open field and the fields from the ephemeral regions for the secular change and determine it in the same way as for the intra-cycle variability.”
Solar Forcing for CMIP6 (v3.1) (2016, methodology): “This secular impact is specific to historical timescales (i.e., prior to 1950) and is consistent with simulations from a magnetic flux transport model (Wang et al., 2005).”
Solar Cycle Prediction Using Precursors and Flux Transport Models (2006, background): “It peaks typically around sunspot minimum and largely reflects the level of activity of the ongoing cycle, a common result of surface flux transport models (Schrijver et al. 2002; Wang et al. 2002, 2005; Baumann et al. 2006).”
Climate System Response to External Forcings and Climate Change Projections in CCSM4 (2012, background): “…based on a variety of observed inventories of short-lived species, along with zonally averaged distributions of historical green-house gases and zonally varying monthly sea surface Natural forcings include volcanic aerosols (Ammann et al. 2003) and solar variability (Lean 2000; Wang et al. 2005).”
Climate change projections using the IPSL-CM5 Earth System Model: from CMIP3 to CMIP5 (2013, background): “For the past, the estimate of the total solar irradiance (TSI) variations is the sum of two terms, the first is related to an estimate of the past solar cycles (Fröhlich and Lean 2004) and the second to an estimate of long term variations (Wang et al. 2005).”
A probabilistic analysis of human influence on recent record global mean temperature changes (2014, methodology): “…model we use GHG concentration, solar radiation, volcanic activity and the El Niño Southern Oscillation cycle as these are key drivers of global temperature variance (IPCC, 2007, 2013; Meinshausen et al., 2011; Allan, 2000; Benestadt and Schmidt, 2009; Gohar and Shine, 2007; Wang et al., 2005).”
