'''Box models''' are simplified versions of complex systems, reducing them to [[reservoir]]s linked by flowsfluxes. This state of complexity allows computational estimates of their steady state to be attained within a realistic timescale.
 
They are used extensively in studies of [[ocean circulation]] and the [[carbon cycle]].<ref name=Sarmiento1984>{{cite journal
