Obliquity pacing of the late Pleistocene glacial terminations
... From a physical standpoint, support for the obliquity control hypothesis also comes from the fact that maxima in obliquity cause annual average insolation anomalies of up to 10W/m2 at high latitudes. Furthermore, the annual average and seasonal insolation redistributions associated with obliquity ar ...
