Abstract

Measured isotopic composition data of collected atmospheric water vapour can be very useful to know about the processes of hydrological cycle. The research on isotopic composition of atmospheric water vapour may be useful in hydro-meteorological perspective due to its possible application in monitoring of onset and withdrawal of southwest monsoon and climatological studies. The importance of these has been discussed briefly in this article.
