The stable oxygen isotope ratio (δ18O) in precipitation is an integrated tracer of atmospheric
processes worldwide. Since the 1990s, an intensive effort has been dedicated to studying …

There has been a long debate on the extent to which precipitation relies on terrestrial
evaporation (moisture recycling). In the past, most research focused on moisture recycling …

Groundwater recharged by meteoric water supports human life by providing two billion
people with drinking water and by supplying 40% of cropland irrigation. While annual …

In the tropics, the proportion of heavier water isotopes in precipitation is anticorrelated with
the precipitation amount. The physical processes underlying this so‐called amount effect are …

In this paper we present a multidecadal and global three‐dimensional stable water isotope
data set. This is accomplished by incorporating processes of the stable water isotopes into …

We present simulations of water‐stable isotopes from the LMDZ general circulation model
(the LMDZ‐iso GCM) and evaluate them at different time scales (synoptic to interannual) …

In tropical regions, the empirical negative relationship between the isotopic content of
precipitation and rainfall amount, known as the “amount effect”, has been used as a …

While Asian monsoon (AM) changes have been clearly captured in Chinese speleothem
oxygen isotope (δ18O) records, the lack of glacial-interglacial variability in the records …

The influence of the Asian monsoon on the δ18O composition of precipitation is investigated
on the basis of the ECHAM‐4 Atmospheric General Circulation Model (AGCM), fitted with …

General circulation models (GCMs) fitted with stable isotope schemes are widely used to
interpret the isotope–climate relationship. However, previous studies have found that the …
