Abstract The correct management of groundwater depends on information regarding the evolutionary processes and characterization spatial variability recharge mechanisms. GIS-based index models have become a reliable alternative for mapping interpreting due to their adaptability reliability in estimating recharge. Furthermore, stable isotopes hydrogen oxygen water (δ 2 H δ 18 O) help determine origin monitoring hydrological cycle. This paper aims contribute knowledge by developing conceptual model using amount spatially distributed balance based GIS Zamora River Basin (ZRB) Ecuadorian Amazon.

Abstract To better understand the underlying atmospheric processes responsible for interannual variability of Meiy-Baiu rainfall, we utilized an isotopic regional spectral model to investigate moisture sources and composition Meiyu-Baiu rainfall in southwestern Japan from 2004 2023. Asian Monsoon (AM) moisture, transported by monsoonal southwesterlies middle levels, contributed 50.9% total with low δ2H high d-excess. Conversely, North Pacific subtropical (NPSH) levels accounted 28.6% AM during heavy seasons exhibited lower higher d-excess, due more rainout below-cloud evaporation. In contrast, signals NPSH were relatively consistent between light seasons. Extreme showed d-excess contribution (57.8%) at precipitation efficiency, which facilitates deep convection, triggering extreme events The study highlights importance East Asia. findings providing valuable insights into understanding water cycle Asia, as well improving seasonal forecasts near-future predictions rainfall.

Torrential Meiyu-Baiu rainfall events have become more frequent in East Asia this decade. The moisture source and isotopic composition of precipitation are crucial for understanding the underlying dynamical thermodynamic processes extreme heavy rainfall. To clarify composition, we simulated a record-breaking over Kyushu southwestern Japan early July 2020 using an regional spectral model. In addition, observed to validate simulations. Moisture sources were classified into three groups: Asian monsoon (AM) from Indian Ocean, South China Sea, Continent; North Pacific subtropical high (NPSH) Ocean Philippine Sea; local Kuroshio region, Sea Japan. remote AM NPSH was dominant. moisture, transported by at low levels, gradually increased period. While monsoonal southwesterly flow mid-level, rapidly association with Baiu frontal depression merged middle Meanwhile, quasi-stationary convective band (QSCB) formed then triggered As condensation exhibited lower δ2H higher d-excess beginning on north side QSCB. Regarding effects hydrometeorological principally attributable rainout below-cloud evaporation during transport process, rather than surface regions. This study systematically clarified major their corresponding dynamics respect evaporation, transport, rainout, torrential findings may be useful weather forecasting disaster prevention Asia.

The South American summer monsoon (SASM) profoundly influences tropical America’s climate, yet understanding its low-frequency variability has been challenging. Climate models and oxygen isotope data have used to examine the SASM over last millennium (LM) but have, at times, provided conflicting findings, especially regarding mean-state change from Medieval Anomaly Little Ice Age. Here, we use a paleoclimate assimilation (DA) method, combining model results δ 18 O observations, produce O-enabled, dynamically coherent, spatiotemporally complete austral hydroclimate reconstruction LM for America 5-year resolution. This aligns with independent records withheld DA, revealing centennial-scale intensification during MCA-LIA transition period, associated southward shift of Atlantic Intertropical Convergence Zone strengthening Pacific Walker circulation (PWC). highlights necessity accurately representing PWC in climate predict future changes.

In contrast, signals relatively preserved. The exhibited intraseasonal was classified into heavy light periods based on amount.
