In the late 1930s, Milankovitch revised his theories and presented them in his most lasting work, Canon of Insolation and the Ice Age Problem.

'' 'Figure 5: Average Absorbed Solar Insolation at the Earth's Surface: July 1983-1990 [(K + k) (1 - a)]' '' -- Highest values occur over the subtropical oceans of the Northern Hemisphere due to high solar input and little cloud coverage.

Insolation quantities at the equator over land during the solstices are approximately the same as values found in the middle latitudes during their summer.

Insolation is the more proper term, but I suspect it wasn't used because this was a press release for non-specialists.

'' 'Figure 3: Average Available Solar Insolation at the Earth's Surface: July 1983-1990 (K + k)' '' -- Highest values of available solar insolation over Greenland due to high solar input and low cloud amounts.

'' 'Figure 4: Average Absorbed Solar Insolation at the Earth's Surface: January 1984-1991 [(K + k) (1 - a)]' '' -- Highest values occur along the subtropical oceans of the Southern Hemisphere.

Insolation is usually the main positive component making up net radiation.
