Sažetak
Isotope composition of monthly precipitation (3H, δ 2H, δ 18O) during the three-year period (Sept. 2000 – Dec. 2003) was monitored at 6 stations in Croatia, 4 maritime and 2 continental stations. Seasonal variations of tritium at maritime stations (mid and south Adriatic coast) are less pronounced and the mean yearly activities are lower than those at the continental stations. δ 2H and δ 18O values of monthly precipitation for all stations are compared with the Global Meteoric Water Line. The temperature gradient (δ 18O – temperature correlation) for different stations and the altitute effect are discussed. Influence of different climate to the isotope composition of precipitation is also discussed. The results of stable isotope compositions in daily precipitation at the Zagreb station in a six-month period are also presented, as well as 14C activity of atmospheric CO2 in the Zagreb area.
