Sentences with phrase «year eccentricity cycle»

This gave rise to the appearance that the 100,000 year eccentricity cycle was driving the cycle, while in reality it was — and is — still obliquity, modulated by the other two.

Here we show that climate oscillations over the past four million years can be explained by a single mechanism: the synchronization of nonlinear internal climate oscillations and the 413,000 - year eccentricity cycle.»

Then and now, very low eccentricity values coincided with the minima of the 400,000 - year eccentricity cycle.

Not exact matches

By matching these isotope ratios to the astronomical cycle — Earth's orbit oscillates between an elliptical and circular path on a roughly 400,000 - year cycle — the researchers found that patterns of glaciation and ice retreat followed the eccentricity of our planet's orbitthey report in the December 22 Science.

-- which by the way is an argument for why the Ruddiman hypothesis for an «expected» ice age is not valid - we should be «expecting» a 40,000 year warm period similar to what was recently discovered at Vostok for the time ~ 400,000 years ago when we were last at this point in the eccentricity cycle!)

Ice age timing has been set for the past million years or so by a 100,000 year cycle where the eccentricity of the earth's orbit changes.

«The 100,000 - Year Ice - Age Cycle Identified and Found to Lag Temperature, Carbon Dioxide and Orbital Eccentricity.»

Well, this 100 000 year cycle is the ECCENTRICITY CYCLE of the Earth Orbit around the Sun: The orbit oscillates between a more elliptical and a more circular orbit every (approximately) 100 000 ycycle is the ECCENTRICITY CYCLE of the Earth Orbit around the Sun: The orbit oscillates between a more elliptical and a more circular orbit every (approximately) 100 000 yCYCLE of the Earth Orbit around the Sun: The orbit oscillates between a more elliptical and a more circular orbit every (approximately) 100 000 years.

While it is possible that the less significant, and originally overlooked, inclination variability has a deep effect on climate, [11] the eccentricity only modifies insolation by a small amount: 1 — 2 % of the shift caused by the 21,000 - year precession and 41,000 - year obliquity cycles.

Precession, which decides whether the Earth is closer to the sun in July or in January, is on a 23,000 - year cycle; obliquity, which decides how tilted the axis of the Earth is and therefore how warm the summer is, is on a 41,000 - year cycle; and eccentricity, which decides how rounded or elongated the Earth's orbit is and therefore how close to the sun the planet gets, is on a 100,000 - year cycle.

There are Milankovitch cycles of around 21,000, 40,000, 100,000, and 400,000 years — in the 100,000 year cycle involving orbital eccentricities the change in insolation is much smaller than with the 21,000 and 40,000 year cycles.

Jupiter's gravity affects the eccentricity of Earth's orbit, and there is a cycle in that eccentricity that is about 100,000 years.

Note that the shift from the 41,000 year axis - tilt cycle shifted to a 100,000 year eccentricity basis cycle 1 million years ago has not been explained.

Eccentricity caused by the planet locations is on a 100,000 year cycle.

Boiled down to simplest terms, they consist of a 100,000 - year cycle in the eccentricity of Earth's orbit, similar to the big 405,000 - year swing; a 41,000 - year cycle in the tilt of Earth's axis relative to its orbit around the Sun; and a 21,000 - year cycle caused by a wobble of the planet's axis.

Kent and Olsen say that every 405,000 years, when orbital eccentricity is at its peak, seasonal differences caused by shorter cycles will become more intense; summers are hotter and winters colder; dry times drier, wet times wetter.

Quaoar has an extraordinary density of 4, and with the great eccentricity of Pluto their complex tide cycle with mostly three maxima und three minima measure 1827/2 = 913.5 years.

From first glance the 100 - thousand - year orbital eccentricity cycle had seemed to be a perfect fit for that approximately same interval for inter-glacial periods appearing.

Precession refers to the fact that both Earth's rotational axis and orbital path precess (rotate) over time — the combined effects of these two components and the eccentricity produce an approximately 21,000 - year cycle.

Although the third parameter of Earth's orbit, eccentricity, varies on a 100,000 - year cycle, its magnitude is insufficient to explain the 100,000 - year cycles of glacial and interglacial periods of the past 900,000 years.
