Weather forecasting relies on many different types of data to make accurate predictions: temperature, humidity and wind data are all used to build an accurate forecast. Researchers have now found a new way to improve weather forecasts, by adding data on water isotopes in the atmosphere.
For predicting weather, water vapour isotopes integrate key information on the history of their evaporation, condensation, mixing and transport. Heavy water (containing either deuterium or oxygen-18) exists in th
