Drivers of precipitation stable oxygen isotope variability in an alpine setting, Snowy Mountains, Australia

Natural archives that preserve a stable isotopic signature are routinely used to reconstruct palaeoenvironmental conditions. Isotopic values of precipitation are known to be influenced by factors such as the amount and type of precipitation, moisture pathway, landscape and terrain factors, and processes associated with precipitation formation and deposition. This study investigates oxygen isotopic variability using real-time rain and snow precipitation data from a moderate altitude (
