Tropical rain recycling

Article Abstract:

The principles of isotope chemistry are applied to satellite data in order to provide a powerful approach for understanding the behavior of water in the atmosphere. The analyses have provided insights into the global water cycle, an understanding of all aspects of which would be crucial as the world moves into a future with an uncertain climate, where potable water will become an ever more precious resource.

Extreme deuterium enrichment in stratospheric hydrogen and the global atmospheric budget of H(sub)2

Article Abstract:

Results show that the D/H ratio of stratospheric molecular hydrogen (H(sub)2) enriches more than 440%. Data indicate that reactions generating molecular hydrogen from methane concentrates D in the molecular hydrogen product. Further, this enrichment enhances the D/H ratio o fthe tropospheric molecular hydrogen.

Climate-driven changes to the atmospheric CO (sub)2 sink in the subtropical North Pacific Ocean

Article Abstract:

The authors discuss the changes brought by the ocean to the atmospheric carbon dioxide. They analyze oceanic carbon dioxide measurements made in subtropical North Pacific Ocean, and report a decrease of carbon dioxide sink strength over the 20 year period.
