Observations • Large spatio-tepmporal variability dependent on Atmospheric hydrologic cycle. Global Network of Isotopes in Precipitation (GNIP) by IAEA Daily Precip. Iso. In Thailand
Rayleigh-type Isotope Circulation Model (ICM)(Yoshimura et al., 2003, JGR) • Global 1.25x1.25 (144x72) 2-D grid-box model. • Forced by external meteorological dataset (P,E,Q,W). • Upstream scheme • Rayleigh FractionationIntegrate vertical in-cloud micro processes So-called “Offline Simulation” of Isotope Atmospheric circulation.Any global datasets can be forced.
