The measurement and simulation of water vapor isotopic composition has matured rapidly
over the last decade, with long‐term data sets and comprehensive modeling capabilities …

Paleoclimate studies of tropical rainfall have led to a recognition of a predominant pattern of
anti-phase behavior between the Northern and Southern hemispheres at both orbital and …

Reconstructing the history of tropical hydroclimates has been difficult, particularly for the
Amazon basin—one of Earth's major centres of deep atmospheric convection,. For example …

A speleothem δ18O record from **aobailong cave in southwest China characterizes
changes in summer monsoon precipitation in Northeastern India, the Himalayan foothills …

The regional monsoons of the world have long been viewed as seasonal atmospheric
circulation reversal—analogous to a thermally-driven land-sea breeze on a continental …

We present simulations of water‐stable isotopes from the LMDZ general circulation model
(the LMDZ‐iso GCM) and evaluate them at different time scales (synoptic to interannual) …

The relationship between climate variability and rainfall oxygen isotopic (δ18O) variability is
poorly constrained, especially in the tropics, where many key paleoclimate records rely on …

Plant leaf waxes have been found to record the hydrogen isotopic composition of
precipitation and are thus used to reconstruct past climate. To assess how faithfully they …

Orbital to millennial‐scale variations in Asian monsoon speleothem δ18O have been widely
interpreted as records of monsoon intensity and/or rainfall amount. To assess the influence …

Variations in Amazonian hydrology and forest cover have major consequences for the
global carbon and hydrological cycles as well as for biodiversity. Yet, the climate and …
