Modification using EUMETSAT
The alteration in the solar radiation/orbital shadow boundary,denoting
the slow change in orientation of the Earth through 360 degrees over the course of an annual orbit can be seen from space - http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/corporat...0060317b_b.jpg It is possible to split that change into latitudinal and longitudinal components even though the change occurs simultaneously,the principle one is for climatologiucal purposes in explaining global climate first and then creating a subset of hemispherical seasons. My interest is in the longitudinal component where the change in orbital orientation allied with the axial cycle alters the observation of natural noon in accordance with Keplerian orbital geometry.It has nothing whatsoever to do with axial orientation or 'tilt'. Of course, all this depends on isolating axial rotation and that requires an interdisciplinary effort insofar as physical considerations in climatological,geological or astronomical disciplines seperately may not mesh with each other in one cohesive package. With images of the Earth from space,why waste time with concepts based on variable axial inclination for either the seasons or a component in the Equation of Time correction ?.This is astronomy and it is time these efforts were not seen as being outside the system or having to fight for them through an open forum. |

There is an awkward feature in the descriptions provided by those images insofar as solstices are hemispherical terms whereas thew Equinox is a truly global term.This awkward feature always surfaces in descriptions of what causes the seasons,inavariably axialtilt and angle of inclination of solar radiation - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DuiQvPLWziQ It is extraordinarily difficult to believe that even with images of the Earth from space showing the the length of time a given latitudinal location spends in solar radition and in the orbital shadow is the main determining factor for the background for hemispherical weather patterns (seasons) that climatologists would still propose it in terms of the pseudo-dynamic of variable inclination and the angle of inclination to solar radiation. Are the photographs from Eumetsat not explicit enough to determine that a rather large modification has to be applied to global climate and the reason for the seasons ?. |
