Result of stratospheric processing:

• H2 mixing ratio changes little

• δD increases dramatically.

To sum up:

Ground station δD(H2) data • show variation with season and

latitude.• contain source/sink information.

δD(H2) data from TP region• yield better parameterization of δD(H2)

in STE• may show new source over India
