PRECIPITATION IN THE CENTRAL AMAZON BASIN: - THE ISOTOPIC COMPOSITION OF RAIN AND ATMOSPHERIC MOISTURE AT BELÉM AND MANAUS

SUMMARY In order to improve the understanding of the water in the Amazon Basin, samples of rain and moisture were collected daily at Belém and Manaus from August 78 to January 80. All isotope data are presented. The most depleted values, sometimes lower than — 10‰ in δ18O at Belém or Manaus, were en...

Zusammenfassung:SUMMARY In order to improve the understanding of the water in the Amazon Basin, samples of rain and moisture were collected daily at Belém and Manaus from August 78 to January 80. All isotope data are presented. The most depleted values, sometimes lower than — 10‰ in δ18O at Belém or Manaus, were encountered during the rainy season (January-April). Possible causes of the seasonal differences in tne isotope pattern are discussed. Resumo No período de agosto de 1978 a janeiro de 1980, foram feitas coletas diárias de amostras de águas de chuva e de vapor d'água do ar em Belém e Manaus, a fim de ampliar os conhecimentos a cerca de parâmetros ligados ao ciclo da água na bacia Amazônica. Estão apresentados os dados isotópicos referentes as amostras. Os valores mais negativos ocorreram durante o período chuvoso (janeiro-abril), atingindo muitas vezes, valores de δ18O menores do que — 10‰. São discutidas as possíveis causas dessas composições.
