The modifications introduced lead to a closer agreement of the global energy distribution with current estimates and to a more complex behaviour of the coupled model, namely to the occurrence of internal oscillations in the climate system on a decadal time scale. The results give additional support to the idea that simplified climate models can be successfully used as a climatic part of integrated models of climate change. publisher: WP-94-022 date: 1994-04 type: Monograph type: NonPeerReviewed format: text language: en identifier: https://pure.iiasa.ac.at/id/eprint/4187/1/WP-94-022.pdf identifier: Ganopolski, A.V. & Krabec, J.
