Meridional distributions of deuterium in atmospheric water vapour between tropical and southern polar latitudes
The temporal and spatial variations in the deuterium/hydrogen isotopic ratio of tropospheric water vapour in air masses circulating above the Southern Ocean and the Antarctic continental ice sheet were investigated during the summer season of the 36th Japanese Antarctic Research Expedition (JARE-36)...

The temporal and spatial variations in the deuterium/hydrogen isotopic ratio of tropospheric water vapour in air masses circulating above the Southern Ocean and the Antarctic continental ice sheet were investigated during the summer season of the 36th Japanese Antarctic Research Expedition (JARE-36) from November 1994 to March 1995. The results of the deuterium analyses of air moisture samples are presented together with water, air and dew point temperatures as functions of latitude. A strong relationship between isotopic composition and latitude as well as corresponding temperatures was found in the region from 20°N to 60°S. Specific circumpolar, meridional and vertical atmospheric circulations and katabatic wind fields dominate in the Antarctic region, hence temperature dependences of the deuterium distribution in Antarctic water vapour are not significant during the short austral summer observation period. The deuterium distributions there are also different from the altitude and latitude effects which are typically for lower latitudes.
