Using a GCM fitted with tracer diagnostics, we examine how continental moisture recycling affects the stable water isotope content of precipitation, focusing on its contribution to the “noise” in the well-established relationship between temperature and δ18O. On a global basis, for temperatures between −30° and 15°C, continental recycling explains more than a third of the variability in annual δ18O that is not explained by temperature. Recycling appears almost as important as temperature in defining δ18O distributions during northern hemisphere summer.
