Manabe, S., J. L. Holloway Jr., 1970: Climate modification and a mathematical model of atmospheric circulation. In A Century of Weather Progress, American Meteorological Society, 157-164.

Abstract: The necessity of a mathematical model of the atmosphere for the study of climate modification is emphasized.
The structure of the global circulation model of the atmosphere which has been developed at the Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory of ESSA is described very briefly. It is shown that this model is capable of simulating some of the fundamental features of the hydrologic cycle and climate.
As an elementary example of the study of climate modification by use of such a model, a very drastic modification of the model climate resulting from the removal of the mountain ranges is discussed.
The structure of the preliminary version of the joint ocean-atmosphere model and the results from the integration of this model are also described very briefly. Plans for improvement and use of the joint model for future investigations of climate modification are discussed.
