Abstract

The cycles of the water isotopic species (HDO and H2 18O) have been incorporated in three atmospheric General Circulation Models (GCMs) with the main objective of predicting the distribution of water stable isotopes in precipitation, The performances of those models are examined for present-day climate through a comparison with existing data available from the IAEA/WMO network established in 1961 and from other sources.

Résumé

Les cycles des formes isotopiques de l'eau (HDO et H2 18O) ont été désormais incorporés dans trois modèles de circulation générale de l'atmosphère (MCG) avec pour objectif principal de prédire la répartition de ces isotopes stables dans les précipitations. Dans cet article de synthèse, nous examinons les performances de ces modèles pour le climat actuel à travers une comparaison avec les données disponibles grâce au réseau AIEA/OMM établi en 1961 et à d'autres sources.
