Shift the fundamental frequencies and see what every cycle does

Usage

chaos_scenario(
  g4_g3_kyr = NULL,
  s4_s3_kyr = NULL,
  hold = c("mean", "g3", "g4"),
  age_ma = 0,
  k_yr = NULL,
  data_dir = NULL
)

Arguments

g4_g3_kyr

Period of the g4-g3 ("2.4 Myr") eccentricity term in the scenario, in kyr (single numeric value > 0, e.g. 1200 for a 2:1 resonance state); g3 and g4 are moved (as set by hold) so that g4-g3 has this period, and every term containing g3 or g4 changes with them. NULL keeps the La2004 values. Default=NULL.

s4_s3_kyr

Period of the s4-s3 ("1.2 Myr") obliquity modulation term in the scenario, in kyr (single numeric value > 0); s3 and s4 are moved symmetrically about their mean to reach it. NULL keeps the La2004 values. Default=NULL.

hold

How g3 and g4 are moved to reach g4_g3_kyr (character): "mean" moves both symmetrically about their mean, "g3" keeps g3 fixed and moves g4 only, "g4" keeps g4 fixed and moves g3 only. Default=c("mean", "g3", "g4"), i.e. "mean".

age_ma

Age in Ma (single numeric value, 0 to 4429) at which the precession constant for the precession and obliquity (k-bearing) terms is taken from AstroGeo22 (astrogeo22). Ignored for that purpose when k_yr is given. Default=0.

k_yr

Your own value of the precession constant, given as its period in years (numeric, e.g. about 25700 for today), used instead of the AstroGeo22 value; NULL uses the model value at age_ma. Default=NULL.

data_dir

Folder that contains the astronomical data tables AstroGeo22.txt and La04gisi.csv (character path); NULL uses the tables installed with the package (or the folder set with options(cocoR.data = ...)). Default=NULL.

Value

the astro_terms() table with the scenario period, the La2004 period, and the change, so it is obvious which cycles move and which do not
