insoDiff: insolation difference map using Laskar et al. (2004) insolation calculations

Description

Generate map that show difference in insolation between two times using Laskar et al. (2004) insolation calculations. This is a wrapper function to calculate insolation using the palinsol package, following astrochron syntax.

Usage

insoDiff(t1,t2,S0=1365,verbose=T)

Arguments

t1

Time 1, in kyr (negative for future, positive for past; valid from -21000 to 51000)

t2

Time 2, in kyr (negative for future, positive for past; valid from -21000 to 51000)

S0

Solar constant, W/m^2

verbose

Verbose output? (T or F)

Details

This wrapper function generates maps with insolation calculations based on the Laskar et al. (2004) astronomical parameters, using the 'palinsol' package (Crucifix, 2016).
