Abstract

Calculated insolations of the Earth are analyzed. The main trends in the modern solar climate change are identified: increased latitudinal contrast and smoothed seasonal differences. The correlation of the meridional insolation gradient with the average annual energy transfer in the ocean–atmosphere system is revealed. The features of changes in the annual and semiannual meridional insolation gradients and the correlation of latitudinal regions of maximum changes with the spatial localization of circulation cells (Headley, Ferrel, and Polar cells) and the regions in which vortex formations are generated and developed (tropical and extratropical cyclones) are revealed. The possibility of a link of between the decrease in the inclination of the Earth’s rotation axis and an increase in the meridional insolation gradient with an increase in climate turbulence is noted.
