Abstract

We present one year of δD, δ18O, d-excess, and Δʹ17O data from monthly precipitation at a Caribbean coastal site in Panama and from tap waters across the country to constrain geographic, climate, and moisture source controls on isotopic variability and better understand the sources and mechanisms of precipitation in Central America, a region facing significant modifications to the annual rainfall cycle due to climate change. Monthly precipitation δD ranged from –52.2 to +14.3 ‰, δ18O from –7.6 to +0.4 ‰, d-excess from +7.1 to +11.6 ‰, and Δ′17O from +11 to +29 per meg. Rainy season precipitation samples were found to have lower δD, δ18O, and d-excess due to Rayleigh distillation during the condensation and rainout of Pacific moisture over the central cordilleras, which results in decoupling between d-excess and Δ′17O. Outlier Δ′17O values during peak dry and rainy months may reflect seasonal changes in water vapor sourcing, from Caribbean to Pacific and/or locally recycled moisture, or may be a result of organic contamination. Tap water δD ranged from –82.3 to –14.3 ‰, δ18O from –11.6 to –2.4 ‰, d-excess from +4.3 to +12.2 ‰ and Δ′17O from –2 to +84 per meg. Tap water δD and δ18O values increase eastward due to lower orographic effects and Pacific and locally recycled moisture contributions to rainfall and greater secondary evaporation. Tap water d-excess and Δ′17O values are also de-coupled but lack clear spatial trends and controls. The results of this study indicate the promise of adding Δ′17O to the isotopic toolkit in tropical mountainous regions with complicated water cycling dynamics and provide a baseline for future triple oxygen isotope investigations.

热带山区降水的三重氧同位素变异性
我们展示了来自巴拿马加勒比海沿岸站点月降水量和全国自来水的一年δD、δ18O、d-excess 和 Δʹ17O数据,以限制地理、气候和水汽源对同位素变异的控制,并更好地了解中美洲降水的来源和机制,该地区的年降水周期因气候变化而面临重大变化。月降水量δD范围为-52.2至+14.3‰,δ18O范围为-7.6至+0.4‰,d-过量范围为+7.1至+11.6‰,Δ′17O范围为每兆+11至+29。雨季降水样本的δD、δ18O 和 d-excess 均较低,这是由于太平洋水汽在中纬度地区上空凝结和降雨时发生了雷利蒸馏,导致 d-excess 和 Δ′17O 脱钩。在干旱和多雨的高峰月份,Δ′17O 值偏离值可能反映了水汽来源的季节性变化,即从加勒比海到太平洋和/或当地回收的水汽,也可能是有机污染的结果。自来水 δD 的范围为 -82.3 至 -14.3 ‰,δ18O 的范围为 -11.6 至 -2.4 ‰,d-过量的范围为 +4.3 至 +12.2 ‰,Δ′17O 的范围为每兆 -2 至 +84。自来水 δD 和 δ18O 值向东增加,这是由于较低的地貌效应以及太平洋和当地循环水对降雨的贡献和更大的二次蒸发造成的。自来水 d-excess 和 Δ′17O 值也是去耦合的,但缺乏明确的空间趋势和控制。这项研究的结果表明,在水循环动态复杂的热带山区,有望在同位素工具包中增加Δ′17O,并为未来的三重氧同位素研究提供基线。
