An introduction to stable water isotopes in climate models: benefits of forward proxy modelling for paleoclimatology
Stable water isotopes have been measured in a wide range of climate archives, with the purpose of reconstructing regional climate variations. Yet the common assumption that the isotopic signal is a direct indicator of temperature proves to be misleading under certain circumstances, since its relatio...
