The authors show an oxygen isotope (δ18O) record from Laguna Potrok Aike, a deep maar lake located in semi-arid, extra-Andean Patagonia, covering the last glacial–interglacial transition (26 000 to 8500 cal BP). During the last deglaciation, reconstructed δ18O values reveal a significant two-step rise. Their interpretation provides a new view to the patterns of changes in the SHW throughout the last glacial–interglacial transition.

DOI: 10.1002/2014GB004965
·  Seasonal and spatial variability in export ratio are quantified
·  Empirical algorithms for e-ratio may be overly simple
·  Assuming e-ratio is seasonally invariant results in large errors in export

Water vapor measured continuously by cavity ring-down spectroscopy from July 2012 to March 2013 on the hyperarid Chajnantor Plateau, northern Chile, has a mean deuterium excess (d-excess=δD8*δ18O) of 46‰±5‰ and frequently exceeds 100‰ at low water vapor mixing ratios (q500ppmv). These measurements provide empirical support for theoretical predictions of free troposphere d-excess.
