Isotopic composition interpretations

Caption

A diagram of the different interpretations for Monthly and Daily Precipitation sampling. The monthly precipitation data are based on classic isotopic effects, such as location, e.g., a tropical or continental climate. However, measuring isotopic composition every day reflects the fingerprints of moisture transport and convective activity.
