Based on theory and experiments, it has been suggested that this excess originates from evaporation of ocean water into under-saturated air. However, there has never been direct demonstration of this excess in marine vapor. Here, we present results of the first measurements of δ^<17>O and δ^<18>O in vapor samples collected over the South Indian and the Southern Oceans. Our data show the existence of ^<17>O-excess in marine vapor and also clear negative correlation between ^<17>O-excess and relative humidity. Thus, ^<17>O-excess is useful for constraining oceanic humidity in hydrological and climatic models. Using the obtained values of ^<17>O-excess, we estimated the fractionation factor between H_2^<18>O and H_2^<16>O for diffusion in air above the ocean (^<18>α_). The new estimation of ^<18>α_ (1.008) is larger than the widely accepted value in hydrological studies., 論文}, title = {Triple isotope composition of oxygen in atmospheric water vapor}, volume = {37}, year = {2010} }
