黑河流域大气降水稳定同位素变化及模拟

利用2002～2004年黑河流域6个采样点上的301个降水数据,对黑河流域大气降水中δD和δ18O的变化进行了分析.结果表明,流域降水δ18O和δD的变化范围分别为6.5‰～-33.4‰和59‰～-254‰,这主要是由于降水水汽来源不同和气象条件特别是气温和降水量的较大变化使得降水形成的凝结机制发生变化引起;降水中同位...

Variations and Simulation of Stable Isotopes in Precipitation in the Heihe River Basin

To study the variations of deltaD and delta18O in precipitation, 301 samples were sampled during 2002-2004 in 6 sites in the Heihe River basin, Northwestern China. The deltaD and delta18O values ranged from 59 per thousand to -254 per thousand and 6.5 per thousand to -33.4 per thousand, respectively. This wide range indicated that stable isotopes in precipitation were controlled by different condensation mechanisms as a function of air temperature and varying sources of moisture. delta18O in precipitation had a close positive relationship with the air temperature, i. e., a clear temperature effect existed in this area. At a monthly scale, no precipitation effect existed. On the other hand, a weak precipitation effect still accrued at precipitation events scale. The spatial variation of delta18O showed that the weighted average delta18O values decreased with the increasing altitude of sampling sites at a gradient of -0. 47 per thousand/100m. A regional Meteoric Water Line, deltaD = 7.82 delta18O + 7.63, was nearly identical to the Meteoric Water Line in the Northern China. The results of backward trajectory of each precipitation day at Xishui showed that the moisture of the precipitation in cold season (October to March) mainly originated from the west while the moisture source was more complicated in warm season (April to September). The simulation of seasonal delta18O variation showed that the stable isotope composition of precipitation tended to a clear sine-wave seasonal variation.
