A role for orbital eccentricity in Earth’s seasonal climate
Abstract The seasonality of Earth’s climate is driven by two factors: the tilt of the Earth’s rotation axis relative to the plane of its orbit (hereafter the tilt effect), and the variation in the Earth–Sun distance due to the Earth’s elliptical orbit around the Sun (hereafter the distance effect)....
