III - Modelling Long-Term Climatic Variations in Response to Astronomical Forcing.- A two-dimensional climate model useful in ice age applications.- A simple seasonal climate model and its response to variations in the orbital parameters.- Preliminary results on the simulation of climate during the last deglaciation with a thermodynamic model.- Some ice-age aspects of a calving ice-sheet model.- A model of the ice age cycle.- Sensitivities of cryospheric models to insolation and temperature variations using a surface energy balance.- A possible explanation of differences between Pre- and Post-Jaramillo ice sheet growth.- On long period internal oscillations in a simple ice sheet model.- On the origin of the ice ages.- Earth-orbital eccentricity variations and climatic change.- Self-oscillations, external forcings, and climate predictability.- Sensitivity of internally-generated climate oscillations to ocean model formulation.- An evaluation of ocean-climate theories on the North Atlantic.- Terminations.- Models for reconstructing temperature and ice volume from oxygen isotope data.- Insolation gradients and the paleoclimatic record.- Summer temperature variations in the Arctic during interglacials.- Changes in decadally averaged sea surface temperature over the world 1861-1980.- Sea-level fluctuations as evidence of the Milankovitch cycles and of the planetary-solar modulation of climate.- A sensitivity experiment to astronomical forcing with a spectral GCM: simulation of the annual cycle at 125 000 BP and 115 000 BP.- The response of a climate model to orbital variations.- Influence of the CLIMAP ice sheet on the climate of a general circulation model: implications for the Milankovitch theory.- The sensitivity of monsoon climates to orbital parameter changes for 9 000 years BP: experiments with the NCAR general circulation model.- IV - CLIMATIC VARIATIONS AT ASTRONOMICAL FREQUENCIES. Summary, Conclusions and Recommendations.- Authors Index.- Subjects Index.
