Data sets

Stable water isotopes in precipitation in the Mekong Delta, Vietnam N. L. Duy, H. Meyer, I. Heidbüchel, B. Merz, and H. Apel http://pmd.gfz-potsdam.de/panmetaworks/review/9e1af507c8fce65a8d740033e5fea31c2e7c58ade81762c235c6f6bbab91166e/

Short summary

This study analyzes the influence of local and regional meteorological factors on the isotopic composition of precipitation. The impact of the different factors on the isotopic condition was quantified by multiple linear regression of all factor combinations combined with relative importance analysis. The proposed approach might open a pathway for the improved reconstruction of paleoclimates based on isotopic records.
