The Influence of Changing Orbital Parameters and Surface Boundary Conditions on Climate Simulations for the Past 18 000 Years
TL;DR: The authors used the Community Climate Model (CCM) of the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) to estimate the magnitude, timing and pattern of the climatic response to prescribed changes of orbital parameters (date of perihelion, axial tilt, eccentricity) and glacial-age lower boundary conditions (ice sheets, land albedo, sea ice and sea surface temperature).
