  1. Abstract

    Patterns ofδ18O andδ2H in Earth's precipitation provide essential scientific data for use in hydrological, climatological, ecological and forensic research. Insufficient global spatial data coverage promulgated the use of gridded datasets employing geostatistical techniques (isoscapes) for spatiotemporally coherent isotope predictions. Cluster‐based isoscape regionalization combines the advantages of local or regional prediction calibrations into a global framework. Here we present a revision of a Regionalized Cluster‐Based Water Isotope Prediction model (RCWIP2) incorporating new isotope data having extensive spatial coverage and a wider array of predictor variables combined with high‐resolution gridded climatic data. We introduced coupling ofδ18O andδ2H (e.g.,d‐excess constrained) in the model predictions to prevent runaway isoscapes when each isotope is modelled separately and cross‐checked observed versus modelledd‐excess values. We improved model error quantification by adopting full uncertainty propagation in all calculations. RCWIP2 improved the RMSE over previous isoscape models by ca. 0.3 ‰ forδ18O and 2.5 ‰ forδ2H with an uncertainty <1.0 ‰ forδ18O and < 8 ‰ forδ2H for most regions of the world. The determination of the relative importance of each predictor variable in each ecoclimatic zone is a new approach to identify previously unrecognized climatic drivers on mean annual precipitationδ18O andδ2H. The improved RCWIP2 isoscape grids and maps (season, monthly, annual, regional) are available for download athttps://isotopehydrologynetwork.iaea.org.

  2. Abstract

    This paper reports our simulations of the volume emission rate of the O(1D) redline nightglow perturbed by waves traveling across the thermosphere at around 250 km altitude. Waves perturb the electronic and neutral background densities and temperatures in the region and modify the O(1D) layer intensity as it is captured by ground‐based nightglow instruments. The changes in the integrated volume emission rate are calculated for various vertical wavelengths of the perturbations. We demonstrate that, as the solar activity intensifies, the vertical scales of most likely observable TID waves become larger. For high solar activity, we demonstrate that only waves presenting vertical wavelengths larger than 360 km are likely to be observed. The variation of the range of likely observable vertical wavelengths with the solar cycle offers a plausible explanation for the low occurrence rate of TID in measurements of the redline nightglow during high solar activity periods. We have compared our results with those of Negale et al. (2018;https://doi.org/10.1029/2017JA024876) and Paulino et al (2018;https://doi.org/10.5194/angeo-36-265-2018) to verify that observed vertical wavelengths distribute around 140–210 km, in good correspondence with our predicted threshold wavelength160 km for very low solar cycle period.
