Stable isotopes in the atmospheric marine boundary layer water vapour over the Atlantic Ocean, 2012-2015.

ABSTRACT: The water vapour isotopic composition (¹H₂¹⁶O, H₂¹⁸O and ¹H²H¹⁶O) of the Atlantic marine boundary layer has been measured from 5 research vessels between 2012 and 2015. Using laser spectroscopy analysers, measurements have been carried out continuously on samples collected 10-20 meter above sea level. All the datasets have been carefully calibrated against the international VSMOW-SLAP scale following the same protocol to build a homogeneous dataset covering the Atlantic Ocean between 4°S to 63°N. In addition, standard meteorological variables have been measured continuously, including sea surface temperatures using calibrated Thermo-Salinograph for most cruises. All calibrated observations are provided
