The Effect of Milankovitch Variations in Insolation on Equatorial Seasonality
(American Meteorological Society, 2010)Although the sun crosses the equator 2 times per year at the equinoxes, at times in the past the equatorial insolation has had only one maximum and one minimum throughout the seasonal cycle because of Milankovitch orbital ... -
Sea Ice and Dynamical Controls on Preindustrial and Last Glacial Maximum Accumulation in Central Greenland
(American Meteorological Society, 2014)Greenland has experienced large changes since the last glacial with its summit warming by approximately 21°C, average accumulation rates tripling, and annual amplitudes of temperature and accumulation seemingly declining. ... -
The Spatial Structure of the Annual Cycle in Surface Temperature: Amplitude, Phase, and Lagrangian History
(American Meteorological Society, 2013)The climatological annual cycle in surface air temperature, defined by its amplitude and phase lag with respect to solar insolation, is one of the most familiar aspects of the climate system. Here, the authors identify ...
