Spatial and Seasonal Isotope Variability in Precipitation across China: Monthly Isoscapes Based on Regionalized Fuzzy Clustering

Shengjie Wang et al.

Summary: The study presents the creation of monthly precipitation isoscapes for China and surrounding countries, based on stable isotope data. The study finds that the spatial and seasonal diversity of precipitation isotopes is influenced by the moisture transportation path controlled by the westerlies and the monsoon. The new isoscapes provide a high-resolution mapping for Chinese precipitation isotopes, allowing for future intra-annual atmospheric process diagnostics.

An hourly-scale assessment of sub-cloud evaporation effect on precipitation isotopes in a rainshadow oasis of northwest China

Liwei Wang et al.

Summary: In arid northwest China, sub-cloud evaporation affects the stable isotope compositions in precipitation. Analysis of meteorological station data in the Kaxgar-Yarkant River Oasis revealed that sub-cloud evaporation has greater impact in spring and autumn, less impact in winter, and stronger impact in summer. Exponential regression was found to be more accurate in describing the relationship between raindrop remaining fraction and isotopic changes. Sampling of low precipitation events is crucial for accurately assessing the impact of sub-cloud evaporation on isotopic compositions.

Spatiotemporal evaluation of alpine pastoral ecosystem health by using the Basic-Pressure-State-Response Framework: A case study of the Gannan region, northwest China

Wenlong Li et al.

Summary: The study conducted ecosystem health assessment in the Gannan alpine pastoral region of China using remote-sensing and GIS technologies. A new assessment framework was proposed, revealing a spatial distribution pattern of decreasing health levels from southwest to northeast, with areas of higher and lower health decreasing and ordinary levels increasing. The pressure indicator had the highest average value, while the basic indicator had the lowest.

Influence of below-cloud secondary evaporation on stable isotope composition in precipitation and its relationship with meteorological factors in Shiyang River Basin, Northwest China

Hui Xiong et al.

Summary: The study in the Shiyang River Basin found that secondary evaporation is stronger in spring and summer and weaker in autumn and winter. In conditions of higher temperature, lower relative humidity, and less precipitation, the phenomenon of isotope dynamic fractionation caused by secondary evaporation is more obvious.

Changes in Below-Cloud Evaporation Affect Precipitation Isotopes During Five Decades of Warming Across China

Shengjie Wang et al.

Summary: This study analyzed the isotopic variations in raindrops across China over the past decades, finding that the impact of below-cloud evaporation on precipitation isotopes varies depending on climate parameters and is more pronounced in arid regions. The continental effect on precipitation isotopes is modified with increasing aridity, and the below-cloud evaporation effect has strengthened especially in cold and arid regions of China in recent decades. While not always dominant, the below-cloud evaporation effect is identified as a contributing factor to stable isotope variability and may impact interpretations of past climates in paleoclimate studies.
