摘要

In 1961,the Global Network Isotopes in Precipitation (GNIP) was operated by the IAEA in collaboration with WMO,and over 500 stations across the globe participated in this program.The initial objective of this program was the systematic collection of isotope data in precipitation to provide the basic isotopic data for the use of basic environmental isotopes in the hydrology within the scope of hydrological and geochemical cycle and water resources management.During the implementation of the program the close relationship between precipitation isotopes and air temperature was found.
