Compute Daily Irradiation

This module computes the daily irradiation at the top of earth's atmosphere for a specified year. Results are images (gif) only.

Please specify the year of interest (BP)

Type of image to be computed:

BP )

Note:

Anomalies for years less then 50 years before present will probably not produce any image, because the differences are too small.

GIF image format (x)

GIF image format (y)

The resulting image for the specified year has to be computed and converted. This will take some time on our machine (about 1 minute CPU-time)

This irradiation module is based on the work of André Berger, Marie-France Loutre and Christian Tricot, 1993: Insolation and Earth's Orbital Periods. Journal of Geophysical Research, Vol. 98, No. D6 and was programed by André Paul. For problems with the www-interface please contact Andreas Manschke.

BP stands for "before present"
