The HDO/H2O relationship in tropospheric water vapor in an idealized “last-saturation” model
[1] Previous model studies have shown that the isotopic composition of tropospheric water vapor is sensitive to atmospheric water transport processes, but compositional information is difficult to interpret due to the complexity of the models. Here an attempt is made to clarify the sensitivity by computing the relationship between tropospheric HDO (via dD) and H2O (via specific humidity q) in a...
متن کاملIsotopic composition of water in the tropical tropopause layer in cloud‐resolving simulations of an idealized tropical circulation
[1] The processes that fix the fractionation of the stable isotopologues of water in the tropical tropopause layer (TTL) are studied using cloud‐resolving model simulations of an idealized equatorial Walker circulation with an imposed Brewer‐Dobson circulation. This simulation framework allows the explicit representation of the convective and microphysical processes at work in the TTL. In this ...

متن کاملGround-based remote sensing of HDO/H2O ratio profiles
We propose an innovative approach for analysing ground-based FTIR spectra which allows us to detect variabilities of lower and middle/upper tropospheric HDO/H 2 O ratios. We show that the proposed method is superior to common approaches. We estimate that lower tropospheric HDO/H 2 O ratios can be detected with a noise to sig-5 nal ratio of 15% and middle/upper tropospheric ratios with a noise t...
