Atmospheric moisture residence time affects rainwater isotope ratios [PDF]

open access: yesEos, Transactions American Geophysical Union, 2012
The water cycle is expected to respond to rising air temperature, which redistributes moisture in the lowest part of the atmosphere, known as the boundary layer. To understand how boundary layer processes redistribute rainfall across different climate settings, climatologists use stable isotope ratios of oxygen and hydrogen in rainwater.
