A positive altitude gradient of isotopes in the precipitation over the Tianshan Mountains: Effects of moisture recycling and sub-cloud evaporation

Y Kong, Z Pang - Journal of Hydrology, 2016 - Elsevier
A negative stable isotope-altitude gradient is commonly observed on the windward side of a
mountain. However, after the precipitation passes over a mountain range to the leeward
side, the altitude effect becomes ambiguous as a result of an orographic rain shadow in
addition to other complex processes such as sub-cloud evaporation and additional moisture
mixing. In this study, we found a positive precipitation δ 18 O-altitude gradient with a value of
0.12‰/100 m in the Urumqi River catchments on the leeward side of the Tianshan …
