The pacing of glacial–interglacial cycles during the Quaternary period (the past 2.6 million years) is attributed to astronomically driven changes in high-latitude insolation. However, it has not been ...

In past ice ages, the intensity of summer insolation affected the emergence of warm and cold periods and played an important role in triggering abrupt climate changes, a study by climate researchers, ...

When meteorologists are working to determine if temperatures may end up warmer or cooler than models are forecasting, one of the factors they consider is “insolation” not to be confused with ...

Get the sunscreen ready! It takes less than 30 minutes to get a sunburn. With the summer solstice about six weeks away, the next 12 weeks will give us the strongest solar rays of the year. Insolation ...
