0 the slow and continuous change in the rotation (= movement around a fixed point) of a planet, star, etc. that is spinning around another planet, star, etc.
Precession rates from 0 to 80rev/min were attainable, measured by timing several revolutions of the table.
Experiments were performed for precession rates spanning the range of validity of the theory.
Secondary motion is imposed upon the primary rotation of the liquid by the relative precession of the top.
A fluid contained in a rotating cylinder has an inertial mode which is excited by forced precession of the container.
Although this age for the paleolakes is geologically recent, several thousand obliquity cycles and 104 climatic precession cycles have passed since then.
This section investigates the main planetary system properties that control orbital precession rates.
This situation obviously changes during the course of a climatic precession cycle and there are repeatedly epochs during which the southern hemisphere becomes more clement.
The model to be described here predicts the temporal evolution of the annual maximum surface temperature at all grid points through one recent precession cycle.
