Abstract: The problems associated with the failure to take into account periodic long-term and interannual changes in incoming solar radiation by latitudes and seasons, as well as long-term changes in the intensity of radiative heat transfer in the parameterization of the radiation block of physical and mathematical climate models, are shown. Existing problems with the radiation block parameterization limit the possibilities of modeling climate and forecasting its changes. To solve the problems, a review of Earth's insolation data with different time resolutions available for parameterization is presented.

Keywords: insolation, incoming solar radiation, secular and periodic fluctuations, interannual changes, radiative heat transfer, mathematical modeling, radiation block.
