DEF

Amount of sunlight received by the Earth or an object during the winter.

CONT

Orbital changes alter the amount of insolation received both in winter and in summer. Is it likely that the amount of winter insolation controls growth of ice sheet? No, since colder winters may result in less accumulation. No, continental ice sheets grow mainly at high elevations in polar regions, where winter insolation is minimal.

OBS

Winter insolation may affect trees during winter and cause serious damage to the bark and cambium.
