Abstract
The cycles of the water isotopic species (HDO and (H2O)-O-18) have bee n incorporated in three atmospheric General Circulation Models (GCMs) with the main objective of predicting the distribution of water stable isotopes in precipitation. The performances of those models are exami ned for present-day climate through a comparison with existing data av ailable from the IAEA/WM0 network established in 1961 and from other s ources.
