Abstract

We examined the seasonal variations of isotopic composition of water vapor in the lower troposphere (850-500 hPa) to relate those of precipitation and groundwater using satellite observations from the Aura Tropospheric Emission Spectrometer (TES) over the volcanic Island of Jeju, Korea. We ran an isotope-enabled general circulation model (IsoGSM) and calculated 120-hr reversecalculated trajectories for air parcels corresponding to the TES observations to better understand the seasonal variations of ${\delta}D$ of water vapor in the lower troposphere. ${\delta}D$ of precipitation by previous studies and the model results show winter-enriched, while summer-enriched water vapor isotope is observed by the TES observations, which may require a validation campaign using in-situ measurements or continuous monitoring of water vapor isotopes around Jeju Island.
