文摘The isotope ratios in precipitation are associated with various meteorological processes and display obvious spatial and temporal distributions, and thus can be used as impo~_nt techniques in inversing atmospheric processes, tracing vapor sources, and reflect- ing the local weather and climate conditions. The composition and distribution of stable isotopes in precipitation in China are summarized and the factors that influence isotope ratios are elucidated. An overview of related research progress in China during the past several decades is presented and the prospects for future work in this subject area are described.
