• Moisture origin as a driver of temporal variabilities of the water vapour isotopic composition in the Lena River delta, Siberia 

      Bonne, Jean-Louis; Meyer, Hanno; Behrens, Melanie; Boike, Julia; Kipfstuhl, Sepp; Rabe, Benjamin; Schmidt, Toni; Schönicke, Lutz; Steen-Larsen, Hans Christian; Werner, Martin (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)
      In the context of the Arctic amplification of climate change affecting the regional atmospheric hydrological cycle, it is crucial to characterize the present-day moisture sources of the Arctic. The isotopic composition is ...
    • North Atlantic weather regimes in δ18O of winter precipitation: isotopic fingerprint of the response in the atmospheric circulation after volcanic eruptions 

      GudlaugsdOttir, Hera; Sjolte, Jesper; Sveinbjörnsdóttir, Árny Erla; Werner, Martin; Steen-Larsen, Hans Christian (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)
      Equatorial volcanic eruptions are known to impact the atmospheric circulation on seasonal time scales through a strengthening of the stratospheric zonal winds followed by dynamic ocean-atmosphere coupling. This emerges as ...
    • Resolving the controls of water vapour isotopes in the Atlantic sector 

      Bonne, Jean-Louis; Behrens, Melanie K.; Meyer, Hanno; Kipfstuhl, Sepp; Rabe, Benjamin; Schonicke, Lutz; Steen-Larsen, Hans Christian; Werner, Martin (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-04-09)
      Stable water isotopes are employed as hydrological tracers to quantify the diverse implications of atmospheric moisture for climate. They are widely used as proxies for studying past climate changes, e.g., in isotope records ...
    • Snow-Atmosphere Humidity Exchange at the Ice Sheet Surface Alters Annual Mean Climate Signals in Ice Core Records 

      Dietrich, Laura Jasmin; Steen-Larsen, Hans Christian; Wahl, Sonja; Jones, Tyler R.; Town, Michel Stephen; Werner, Martin (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)
      Surface processes alter the water stable isotope signal of the surface snow after deposition. However, it remains an open question to which extent surface post-depositional processes should be considered when inferring ...
    • Snowfall and Water Stable Isotope Variability in East Antarctica Controlled by Warm Synoptic Events 

      Servettaz, Aymeric P. M.; Orsi, Anaïs; Curran, Mark A. J.; Moy, Andrew D.; Landais, Amaelle; Agosta, Cécile; Winton, V. Holly L.; Touzeau, Alexandra; McConnell, Joseph R.; Werner, Martin; Baroni, Mélanie (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)
      Understanding climate proxy records that preserve physical characteristics of past climate is a prerequisite to reconstruct long-term climatic conditions. Water stable isotope ratios (δ18O) constitute a widely used proxy ...
    • Sub-millennial climate variability from high-resolution water isotopes in the EPICA Dome C ice core 

      Grisart, Antoine; Casado, Mathieu; Gkinis, Vasileios; Vinther, Bo; Naveau, Philippe; Vrac, Mathieu; Laepple, Thomas; Minster, Bénédicte; Prié, Frederic; Stenni, Barbara; Fourré, Elise; Steen-Larsen, Hans Christian; Jouzel, Jean; Werner, Martin; Pol, Katy; Masson-Delmotte, Valérie; Hoerhold, Maria; Popp, Trevor; Landais, Amaelle (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)
      The EPICA Dome C (EDC) ice core provides the longest continuous climatic record, covering the last 800 000 years (800 kyr). A unique opportunity to investigate decadal to millennial variability during past glacial and ...
