Daily precipitation δ18O values were recorded through a 7-year period at Tustervatn, Norway, close to the Arctic Circle. Seasonal variations were superimposed on an overall rising trend. Cluster analysis of air mass trajectories revealed five principal moisture source areas and transport routes to T...
