Sentences with phrase «axial precession»

There are two key precession effects: axial precession (see an animation here), in which the torque of the other planets exerted on the Earth's equatorial bulge forces the rotational axis to «wobble» like a spinning top; there is also an elliptical precession, in which the ellipse of the Earth itself rotates about one focus.

Be that as it may the planet is going over the hump in axial precession moving towards the favorable stage for glacial advance.

Axial precession is the big Kahuna and it's only halfway to the extreme the favors glacial advance.

You must have failed to notice Coby that in those articles I link to (* & 312) I do mention that ONE «oscillator» is a TRIVARIATE of planetary orbital variation, planetary axial precession and Solar Climate as concerned with TOTAL, and Spectral division of, Solar energy output.

introduces George Ferrandi's latest work related to axial precession.

Serbian geophysicist Milutin Milankovic» identified three of these: orbit eccentricity, axial precession and tilt.

Not exact matches

The Pleistocene ice ages seem to correlate with periodicities in the Earth's orbital eccentricity, axial tilt, and precession.

An excellent review (click) is here of the three components of Milankovich Theory (Earth's Orbital Eccentricity, Axis Tilt, and Axial Wobble (Precession).

According to this theory, changes in the shape of Earth's orbit around the sun (eccentricity), variations in Earth's axial tilt (obliquity), and the tendency for Earth to «wobble» with respect to the direction of its rotational axis (precession) affect climate.

Atmospheric dynamics, solar cycles, Milankovic factors respecting Earth's axial tilt, orbital eccentricity, equinoctial precession etc. remain constant in historical context and perspective.

The 23,000 - year and 41,000 - year cycles are driven ultimately by two components of Earth's orbital geometry: the equinoctial precession cycle (23,000 years) and the axial - tilt cycle (41,000 years).

A pattern emerging from recent paleoclimatologic studies suggests that the climatic effects of eccentricity, precession, and axial tilt have been amplified during cool phases of the Cenozoic, whereas they have been dampened during warm phases.
