Evolution of the seasonal temperature cycle in a transient Holocene simulation: orbital forcing and sea-ice

Changes in the Earth's orbit lead to changes in the seasonal and meridional distribution of insolation. We quantify the influence of orbitally induced changes on the seasonal temperature cycle in a transient simulation of the last 6000 years – from the mid-Holocene to today &a...
