Sentences with phrase «precessional forcing»

Because precessional forcing over the Holocene is opposite for the two hemispheres, both Southern Hemisphere and Northern Hemisphere should be shown.

Earth eccentricity cycles modulate the amplitude of precessional forcing of the African monsoonal rains (see upper right panel), and deep lake conditions are observed in several East African basins during some (not all) eccentricity maxima over the 5 Ma (deMenocal, 2011; Trauth et al., 2005; Kingston et al., 2007)

I am assuming the similarity of the «low eccentricity and consequently weak precessional forcing» in the current interglacial and during MIS 11.

Not exact matches

You'd better learn something about Milankovic forcing, and what the ocean does to average the precessional cyle out, and how it depends on latitude.

The main changes in radiative forcing from the precessional cycle are in the latitudinal and seasonal distribution, not in the global mean, which is why the nature of the response can be expected to be different from doubling CO2.

'' The dominant forcing factor appears to be precessional insolation; Northern Hemisphere summer insolation correlates to at least the early to middle Holocene climate trend.

I have been thinking along these same lines (periodic orbital and precessional gravitational forces triggering plate tectonic activity) for over twenty years, although I must say that an effect from sea level variations hadn't occurred to me.
