Data Descriptor: Daily observations of stable isotope ratios of rainfall in the tropics
We present precipitation isotope data (δ2H and δ18O values) from 19 stations across the tropics collected from 2012 to 2017 under the Coordinated Research Project F31004 sponsored by the International Atomic Energy Agency. Rainfall samples were collected daily and analysed for stable isotopic rati...

Sumario: |
We present precipitation isotope data (δ2H and δ18O values) from 19 stations across the tropics collected
from 2012 to 2017 under the Coordinated Research Project F31004 sponsored by the International
Atomic Energy Agency. Rainfall samples were collected daily and analysed for stable isotopic ratios
of oxygen and hydrogen by participating laboratories following a common analytical framework.
We also calculated daily mean stratiform rainfall area fractions around each station over an area
of 5° x 5° longitude/latitude based on TRMM/GPM satellite data. Isotope time series, along with
information on rainfall amount and stratiform/convective proportions provide a valuable tool for rainfall
characterisation and to improve the ability of isotope-enabled Global Circulation Models to predict
variability and availability of inputs to fresh water resources across the tropics. |
