Abstract (AI)
A standard, based on the set of ocean water samples used by Epstein and Mayeda to obtain a reference standard for oxygen-18 data, but defined relative to the National Bureau of Standards isotopic reference water sample, is proposed for reporting both deuterium and oxygen-18 variations in natural waters relative to the same water. The range of absolute concentrations of both isotopes in meteoric-waters is discussed.
Key Findings
1
A single standard is proposed for reporting both deuterium and oxygen-18 variations in natural waters relative to the same reference water.
2
The paper discusses the range of absolute concentrations of both deuterium and oxygen-18 in meteoric waters.
3
The proposed standard is based on the ocean water samples used by Epstein and Mayeda but defined relative to the National Bureau of Standards isotopic reference water sample.
4
The standard enables consistent reporting of isotope variations (deuterium and oxygen-18) in natural waters using a common reference.
