Interestingly, δ<jats:sup>18</jats:sup>O<jats:sub><jats:italic>v</jats:italic></jats:sub> record also shows that some nights (15%) are extremely depleted (mean δ<jats:sup>18</jats:sup>O<jats:sub>v</jats:sub> is −21.4‰). They are among the driest of the record (mean <jats:italic>q</jats:italic><jats:sub><jats:italic>v</jats:italic></jats:sub> is 2.9 g/kg). Based on different modeling studies, we suggest that extreme nocturnal isotopic depletions are caused by large‐scale atmospheric transport and subsidence of dry air masses from the upper troposphere to the surface, induced by the subtropical westerly jet.</jats:p> The isotopic composition of near‐surface water vapor at the Maïdo observatory (Reunion Island, southwestern Indian Ocean) documents the controls of the humidity of the subtropical troposphere Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres |
