Oxygen and Hydrogen Isotopes in the Hydrologic Cycle
Changes of the isotopic composition of water within the water cycle provide a recognizable signature, relating such water to the different phases of the cycle. The isotope fractionations that accompany the evaporation from the ocean and other surface waters and the reverse process of rain formation account for the most notable changes. As a result, meteoric waters are depleted in the heavy isot...
متن کاملEffect of atmospheric water vapor on modification of stable isotopes in near-surface snow on ice sheets
[1] A Rayleigh fractionation model is developed to investigate postdepositional modification of stable isotopes of water in the near-surface snow of East Antarctica. The processes of forced ventilation, pore-space diffusion, and intra-ice-grain diffusion are parameterized through characteristic time constants. Routine meteorological observations, their derived products, and general glaciologica...
متن کاملEffect of water vapor feedback on internal and anthropogenic variations of the global hydrologic cycle
Using two versions of the GFDL coupled ocean-atmosphere model, one where water vapor anomalies are allowed to affect the longwave radiation calculation and one where they are not, we examine the role of water vapor feedback in internal precipitation variability and greenhouse-gas-forced intensification of the hydrologic cycle. Without external forcing, the experiment with water vapor feedback p...
متن کاملInfluence of condensate evaporation on water vapor and its stable isotopes in a GCM
[1] The direct effect of condensate evaporation on atmospheric water vapor and its isotopic composition is assessed in a climate model. The model contains two parallel hydrologic cycles, an active one which influences the model physics and dynamics and a passive one which does not. Two model simulations are performed, one in which passive cloud and precipitation can evaporate and one in which t...
متن کاملStable isotopes in the atmospheric marine boundary layer water vapour over the Atlantic Ocean, 2012–2015
The water vapour isotopic composition (1H216O, H218O and 1H2H16O) of the Atlantic marine boundary layer has been measured from 5 research vessels between 2012 and 2015. Using laser spectroscopy analysers, measurements have been carried out continuously on samples collected 10-20 meter above sea level. All the datasets have been carefully calibrated against the international VSMOW-SLAP scale fol...
