Sentences with phrase «direct orbital forcing»

The theory of direct orbital forcing is obvously incorrect, since integral of insolation does not change for more than 0.1 % during eccentiricity variations.

Not exact matches

(Orbital forcing doesn't have much of a global annual average forcing, and it's even concievable that the sensitivity to orbital forcing as measured in terms of global averages and the long - term response (temporal scale of ice sheet response) might be approaching infinity or even be negative (if more sunlight is directed onto an ice sheet, the global average albedo might increase, but the ice sheet would be more likely to decay, with a global average albedo feedback that causes warming).

I don't call it orbital forcing because that doesn't always translate into an albedo effect or a direct solar irradiance effect.

Direct albedo effects due to orbital parameter changes are themselves a forcing.
