Dusty rainfall data reveal new understanding of Earth’s long-term local weather

Historical rainfall data stretching 550,000 years into the previous could upend scientists’ understanding of what controls the Asian summer time monsoon and different points of the Earth’s long-term local weather. Milankovitch concept says photo voltaic heating of the northernmost a part of the globe drives the world’s local weather swings between ice ages and hotter durations. The brand new work turns Milankovitch in its head by suggesting local weather is pushed by differential heating of the Earth’s tropical and subtropical areas.
