Standard for Reporting Concentrations of Deuterium and Oxygen-18 in Natural Waters

Harmon Craig 1

1 Department of Earth Sciences, University of California, La Jolla

A standard, based on the set of ocean water samples used by Epstein and Mayeda to obtain a reference standard for oxygen-18 data, but defined relative to the National Bureau of Standards isotopic reference water sample, is proposed for reporting both deuterium and oxygen-18 variations in natural waters relative to the same water. The range of absolute concentrations of both isotopes in meteoric-waters is discussed.
