RELATION BETWEEN δ¹⁸O IN ATMOSPHERIC PRECIPITATION AND TEMPERATURE AND PRECIPITATION

The paper analyzes the relation between δ¹⁸O and temperature and precipitation in different regions of the world on the basis of the data from the global observational network set by the International Atomic Energy Agency (I-AEA) and the World Meteorological Organization (WMO). The results show that there is the marked positive correlation between δ¹⁸O and temperature in the mid-high latitude continent regions, and the marked negative correlation between δ¹⁸O and precipitation in the mid-low-latitude ocean and coast stations.
