The relationship between deuterium and oxygen-18 concentrations in natural meteoric waters from many parts of the world has been determined with a mass spectrometer. The isotopic enrichments, relative to ocean water, display a linear correlation over the entire range for waters which have not undergone excessive evaporation.
利用质谱仪测定了来自世界许多地区的天然降水水中氘和氧-18 浓度之间的关系。在未经过度蒸发的水中,相对于海水,同位素富集度在整个范围内呈线性相关。
