A new local meteoric water line for Inuvik (NT, Canada)
The paper presents a new local meteoric water line (LMWL) of precipitation stable oxygen and hydrogen isotopes from Inuvik in the Western Canadian Arctic. Data were obtained over 37 months between August 2015 and August 2018 resulting in 134 measurements of the isotopic composition of both types of...

The paper presents a new local meteoric water line (LMWL) of precipitation stable oxygen and hydrogen isotopes from Inuvik in the Western Canadian Arctic. Data were obtained over 37 months between August 2015 and August 2018 resulting in 134 measurements of the isotopic composition of both types of precipitation, snow and rain. For 33 months of the sampling period each month is represented at least two times from different years. The new LMWL from Inuvik is characterized by a slope of 7.39 and an intercept of –6.70, and fills a data gap in the Western Arctic where isotopic composition data of precipitation are scarce and stem predominantly from before the year 1990. Regional studies of meteorology, hydrology, environmental geochemistry and paleoclimate will likely benefit from the new Inuvik LMWL. |
