Climate and atmospheric history of the past 420,000 years from the Vostok ice core,
- Antarctica. Nature
, 1999
"... Antarctica has allowed the extension of the ice record of atmospheric composition and climate to the past four glacial-interglacial cycles. The succession of changes through each climate cycle and termination was similar, and atmospheric and climate properties oscillated between stable bounds. Inte ..."

Response of a Coupled Ocean–Atmosphere Model to Increasing Atmospheric Carbon Dioxide: Sensitivity to the Rate of Increase
- JOURNAL OF CLIMATE
, 1999
"... The influence of differing rates of increase of the atmospheric CO 2 concentration on the climatic response is investigated using a coupled ocean–atmosphere model. Five transient integrations are performed each using a different constant exponential rate of CO 2 increase ranging from 4 % yr �1 to 0. ..."

"... Abstract. We examine the sensitivity of a climate model to a wide range of radiative forcings, including changes of solar irradiance, atmospheric CO2, 03, CFCs, clouds, aerosols, surface •bedo, and a "ghost " forcing introduced at arbitrary heights, latitudes, longitudes, seasons, and time ..."

Target atmospheric CO2: where should humanity aim?
- Open Atmospheric Science Journal,
, 2008
"... Paleoclimate data show that climate sensitivity is ~3°C for doubled CO 2 , including only fast feedback processes. Equilibrium sensitivity, including slower surface albedo feedbacks, is ~6°C for doubled CO 2 for the range of climate states between glacial conditions and icefree Antarctica. Decreasi ..."

Measurement of the apparent dissociation constants of carbonic acid in seawater at atmospheric pressure
, 1973
"... The apparent dissociation constants of carbonic acid in seawater were determined as functions of temperature (2-35°C) and salinity ( 19-43%) at atmospheric pressure by measurement of K’1 and the product K’, K’,. At 35sa salinity and 25°C the measured values were pE1 = 6.600 and pK’2 = 9.115; at 35 % ..."
