The steady state concept is a theoretical concept, which will hardly ever be met because accumulation and ablation are highly variable on short time scales and the flow varies on much longer time scales.

The trace element iron has been recently shown to play a critical role in nutrient utilization, phytoplankton growth and therefore the uptake of carbon dioxide from the surface waters of the global ocean. Carbon fixation in the surface waters, via phytoplankton growth, shifts the ocean/atmosphere exchange equilibrium for carbon dioxide. As a result, levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide(a greenhouse gas) and iron flux to the oceans have been linked to climate change(glacial to interglacial transitions). These recent findings have led some to suggest that large scale iron fertilization of the world's oceans may therefore be a feasible strategy for controlling climate. 2, record 12, English, - iron%20fertilization

[Second generation of General Circulation. ] With these models, researchers were able to explore what they called equilibrium climate change, that is, the changes in climate that would result after the climate system had stabilized in response to a given change-usually a doubling-in greenhouse gas concentrations. 3, record 13, English, - equilibrium%20climate%20change

Vers la fin des années 1980, [...] les progrès des techniques de modélisation, de la compréhension des processus climatiques et de la puissance des ordinateurs ont permis d'élaborer une deuxième génération de MCG [Modèle de circulation générale]. [...] Les chercheurs ont alors pu explorer ce qu'ils appelaient le changement climatique à l'équilibre, autrement dit les nouvelles conditions climatiques qui régneraient une fois que le système se serait stabilisé en réponse à un changement donné des concentrations de gaz à effet de serre - en général un doublement. 2, record 13, French, - changement%20climatique%20%C3%A0%20l%27%C3%A9quilibre

We created a reduced-form climate model that is based upon a series of previously conducted transient atmosphere-ocean general circulation model (AOGCM) simulations. For the model, we constructed a set of multiple regression transformation equations that relate the time history of radiative forcing to future transient climate change. These transformation equations were derived for a global grid and enable us to estimate future transient climate for a number of variables and for a wide range of CO2 and aerosol emission scenarios. 3, record 14, English, - transient%20climate%20change
