The Sensitivity of the African-Asian Monsoonal Climate to Orbital Parameter Changes for 9000 Years B.P. in a Low-Resolution General Circulation Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The earth's orbital parameters, precession, obliquity and eccentricity, produce solar radiation differences (compared to present) of ?7% at the solstices 9000 years before present (B.P.): more radiation in June-July-August, ...
Variance Spectrum of Holocene Climatic Fluctuations in the North Atlantic Sector
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The general character of the variance spectrum of temperature fluctuations on time scales from 1 to 10,000 years is estimated from a combination of botanical, chemical, historical and instrumental records from locations ...
Intercomparison of Simulated Global Vegetation Distributions in Response to 6 kyr BP Orbital Forcing
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The response of ten atmospheric general circulation models to orbital forcing at 6 kyr BP has been investigated using the BIOME model, which predicts equilibrium vegetation distribution, as a diagnostic. Several common ...
