Man's great geophysical experiment: Can we model the consequences?

Bryan, K., 1986/87: Man's great geophysical experiment: Can we model the consequences? Oceanus, 29 (4), 36-42.
Abstract: Greenhouse gases in the atmosphere produced by modern man are changing the global radiation balance-Carbon Dioxide and Climate: A Scientific Assessment. Climate Research Board, National Academy of Sciences, 1979. Resulting climate trends, however, depend on complex interactions between the ocean, atmosphere, and biosphere. Is it possible to harness existing knowledge of ocean and atmosphere circulation to build models accurate enough to forecast the climate consequences of a probable buildup of greenhouse gases continuing well on into the 21st century?
