Short summary
Monitoring of atmospheric water vapor isotopes for 1 year at Matara, Sri Lanka, revealed clear seasonal variations in δ18O and d-excess. The results showed lower amplitudes of δ18O during the southwest monsoon and higher amplitudes of δ18O during the northeast monsoon. Sea surface evaporation and regional convective activity influenced the isotopic compositions. Our results facilitate an understanding of the impacts of local meteorological conditions on tropical water vapor isotope signals.
