1 Introduction Clouds, precipitation, and radiative processes are intrinsically coupled to the addition, removal and transport of water vapor in the atmosphere. Phase changes, such as condensation and evaporation, create distinct signatures in the stable isotope composition of water vapor and precipitation (Gat, 1996). Therefore, stable water isotopologues (SWI) have long been recognized as a useful tool to trace the impact of different moist processes in the atmospheric water cycle.
