This graph image could be re-created using vector graphics as an SVG file. This has several advantages; see Commons:Media for cleanup for more information. If an SVG form of this image is available, please upload it and afterwards replace this template with {{vector version available|new image name}}. It is recommended to name the SVG file “MilankovitchCyclesOrbitandCores.svg”—then the template Vector version available (or Vva) does not need the new image name parameter.
Insolation calculation is generated from the orbital parameters

"A large portion change in d18Oc records is thought to result of the sequestration of isotopically light oxygen (16O) in large continental ice sheets, resulting in ocean water that has a larger proportion of 18O."
Thus reduction of oxygen 18 (which is upward on the graph) indicates warmer conditions and higher sealevel.
