Imprints of terrestrial water fluxes on tropospheric stable water isotopes revealed by satellite observations and complex network analysis

Key Points

• Tropospheric stable water isotopes are significantly influenced by terrestrial water fluxes, indicating complex interactions in the atmosphere.
• Analysis using satellite observations highlighted the role of terrestrial sources in shaping isotopic variations in the troposphere.
• Observational analysis of tropospheric data revealed complex network patterns, linking terrestrial water fluxes with isotopic distributions.
• Findings may enable improved modeling of atmospheric processes, enhancing climate understanding and resource management.
