q |
A full cycle of ice sheet growth and
|
|
|
decay incorporates both the delayed
|
|
|
|
response of the ice sheets to summer
|
|
|
insolation forcing as well as the
|
|
|
delayed response of bedrock to the ice
|
|
sheet load.
|
|
|
q |
As a results of the delays, the
|
|
|
maximum size of ice sheets does not
|
|
|
happen at the time of the lowest
|
|
|
summer insolation.
