Stable isotopes in precipitation (δ18O and δD) from Yadong and Pali, central Himalayas

<strong>Metadata</strong> The isotopic compositions of daily precipitation were measured at two stations, Yadong and Pali, in the central Himalayas. The precision for δ¹⁸O and δD is ±0.1‰ and ±0.4‰, respectively. The meteorological data, including the collection of precipitation amounts and surface air temperature, was obtained by the Institute of Tibetan Plateau Research, Chinese Academy of Sciences, China. <strong>Stations</strong> <strong>Station</strong> <strong>Latitude</strong> <strong>Longitude</strong> <strong>Altitude (m.a.s.l.)</strong> <strong>Sampling period</strong> <strong>Samples (n)</strong> Yadong 27° 29’ 40” N 88° 55’ 01” E 2945 2014-03-13 - 2015-07-18 125 Pali 27° 43’ 16” N 89° 09’ 08” E 4300 2014-03-18 - 2015-07-23 130 <strong>Variable definitions</strong> <strong>Description</strong> <strong>Unit</strong> <strong>Equipment</strong> <strong>Additional description</strong> Date time − − − Air temperature Celsius (°C) − − Precipitation mm − − Water vapour isotopic ratio (δ¹⁸O) per mil Picarro-2130i Liquid Water Isotope Analyzer Normalized to V-SMOW Water vapour isotopic ratio (δD) per mil Picarro-2130i Liquid Water Isotope Analyzer Normalized to V-SMOW Deuterium excess (d-excess) per mil d-excess=δD-8*δ¹⁸O <strong>Reference paper</strong> Axelsson, J., Gao, J., Eckhardt, S., Cassiani, M., Chen, D. &amp; Zhang, Q.
