State-dependence of climate sensitivity: attractor constraints and palaeoclimate regimes

, 2016
Equilibrium climate sensitivity (ECS) is a key predictor of climate change. However, it is not very well constrained, either by climate models or by observational data.

Examining Long-Term Global Climate Change on the Web [PDF]

This article describes an activity in which students use web-based resources to investigate global climate change. The investigation takes the form of a computer activity in which they collect data from the internet on temperature, concentrations of ...

The White Stone Band of the Kimmeridge Clay Formation, an integrated high resolution approach to understanding environmental change

, 2004
The Kimmeridge Clay is a Jurassic mudrock succession that shows Milankovitch Band climatic cyclicity. A key issue is to determine how the subtle changes that define this cyclicity result from climatic change.

Effects of additive noise on the stability of glacial cycles

, 2016
It is well acknowledged that the sequence of glacial-interglacial cycles is paced by the astronomical forcing. However, how much is the sequence robust against natural fluctuations associated, for example, with the chaotic motions of atmosphere and ...

The Milankovitch Theory Revisited to Explain the Mid-Pleistocene and Early Quaternary Transitions

Atmosphere
The theory of orbital forcing as formulated by Milankovitch involves the mediation by the advance (retreat) of ice sheets and the resulting variations in terrestrial albedo. This approach poses a major problem: that of the period of glacial cycles, which

How to cope with climate's complexity

, 2008
Climate exhibits a vast range of dissipative structures. Some have characteristic times of a few days; others evolve on thousands of years. All these structures are interdependent; in other words, they communicate.

Global Carbon Cycle Recorded in the Deep-sea Sediments and Milankovitch Cycle.

Journal of Geography (Chigaku Zasshi), 1995
Several hundred years of astronomical observations have left no doubt that the Earth's orbit is subject to cyclic variations. While the annual energy receipt of solar radiation over the Earth as a whole is not change, the distribution of this energy, by latitude and by season, is affected by three parameters: an obliquity cycle of 41kyr, an ...

Astronomical cycle driving of coal-bearing rock system rotations in the Permian Shihezi Formation at Renlou Coal Mine

Solid Earth Sciences
Marine terrestrial transitional sedimentary rocks of Renlou Coal Mine are developed in coal bearing rock formations, which exhibits obvious cyclicity. These sedimentary cycles have a good correspondence with astronomical cycle signals.

Milankovitch cycles in Banded Iron Formations

, 2022
The astronomical theory of climate change resulting from quasi-periodic variations in the Earth’s orbit and spin axis (Milankovitch forcing) is now widely accepted for the Phanerozoic, the most recent ~0.5 billion years of Earth history. However, much older, Precambrian intervals remain largely unexplored.

Science support for the Earth radiation budget sensor on the Nimbus-7 spacecraft [PDF]

Experimental data supporting the Earth radiation budget sensor on the Nimbus 7 Satellite is given. The data deals with the empirical relations between radiative flux, cloudiness, and other meteorological parameters; response of a zonal climate ice sheet ...
