...…number of variables in the biogeochemical model relative to the physical model component the spin-up of the model biogeochemistry may require thousands of years (Wunsch and Heimbach, 2008) compared to weeks for the atmosphere and centuries for the ocean and ice components (Stouffer et al., 2004)....

...The deep ocean continues its adjustment on longer time scales (centennial to millennial) that should involve diapycnal diffusion throughout the global ocean [Wunsch and Heimbach, 2008] and processes in the Southern Ocean [Haertel and Fedorov, 2011; Allison et al., 2011]....

...For example, estimated from radiocarbon and from inverse models, the waters of the deep North Pacific have a ventilation age of 1,200–1,500 years (Gebbie & Huybers, 2012; Khatiwala et al., 2012), with some model studies suggesting much longer timescales (Wunsch & Heimbach, 2008)....

...…stable until 19–14ka BP (Clark et al. 2009), which calls into question both the idea of a synchronous LGM in the ocean and the timing of the LGM at any site in the ocean, particularly given that the ocean equilibration time scales may be up to 10000 years or even longer (Wunsch and Heimbach 2008)....

...However, Wunsch and Heimbach (2008) dem- onstrate that radiocarbon ages can be misleading; the ocean may need up to 10 000 years to reach a new equilibrium in response to regional changes in surface forcing....
