The research also challenges the traditional approach of using single insolation metrics to characterize orbital forcing, showing instead that the relative influence of precession versus obliquity ...

New research suggests that Earth’s orbital variations—the slow changes in its tilt, axial precession, and shape of its ...

Input is received in the form of short-wave solar energy. This is called insolation. Only approximately 52 per cent of this insolation reaches the earth's surface. The rest is absorbed by water ...
