Hydrology: Tropical rain recycling
Thom Rahn1
Abstract
The behaviour of water in the atmosphere is a poorly understood part of the hydrological cycle. Applying the principles of isotope chemistry to satellite data provides a powerful approach for improving the situation.
Water is arguably our most precious resource. It moves through Earth's system in many ways, beginning with its evaporation from the oceans into the atmosphere.
