Characterization Of Modern Water Isotopes Of Northeast Monsoon Precipitation In Kelantan

The characteristics of oxygen-18 and deuterium in precipitation were investigated to understand the input mechanism of the water cycle during NEM season from the year 2013 to 2016. The isotopic composition of Kelantan precipitation reflects the monsoon signature across time. It demonstrates a little...
