Obliquity pacing of the late Pleistocene glacial terminations
Article Abstract:
An analysis states that the null hypothesis that glacial terminations are independent of obliquity could be rejected at the 5% significance level, while the corresponding null hypothesis for eccentricity and precession cannot be rejected. The simple, stochastic, and deterministic models that describe the timing of the late Pleistocene glacier termination in terms of obliquity forces are presented.

Links between annual, Milankovitch and continuum temperature variability
Article Abstract:
Study is conducted to show that power-law relationships of surface temperature variability scale with annual and Milankovitch period (23,000- and 41,000-year) cycles. The identification of a deterministic control on the continuum provides insight into the mechanisms governing interannual and longer-period climate variability.
