Tilt and Seasonal Insolation
q The hemispheric and seasonal
patterns of insolation changes for tilt
and precession are fundamentally
different.
q Insolation changes at high latitudes
caused by change in the tilt are in
phase between the hemisphere from
a seasonal perspective.
q For the case of increased tilt,
summer insolation maxima in the
northern hemisphere occur at the
same time in the 41,000-year cycle
as summer insolation maxima in the
southern hemisphere.
