Watts, R.G. (1983). On the absence of self-oscillatory behavior in some zero-dimensional climate models. Journal of Geophysical Research 88: doi: 10.1029/JC080i015p10829. issn: 0148-0227.

The autooscillatory behavior of some zero-dimensional energy balance models stems directly from a misinterpretation of the Sellers parametrization of the variations of albedo with temperature. When a globally averaged value of the Sellers albedo is used, these models do not exhibit autooscillation.
