Seasonality of stable isotope composition of atmospheric water input at the southern slopes of Mt. Kilimanjaro, Tanzania.

<p>The extensive dataset provides detailed information about different&nbsp;precipitation types and their stable isotope analyses of &delta;D and &delta;18O of&nbsp;weekly precipitation samples along an altitude gradient rising from 950 m&nbsp;to nearly 4,000 m a.s.l. over 2 years.</p> <p>It provides a broad overview of the main characteristics of water stable&nbsp;isotope compositions of precipitation at the southern slopes of Mt.&nbsp;Kilimanjaro. The data can be used to better characterize groundwater and&nbsp;surface water sources and availability to ecosystems and the people living&nbsp;in the investigated region and provide much-needed information on stable&nbsp;isotope chracteristics of precipitation in equatorial Africa.&nbsp;</p> <p>The associated publication to this data set is available at Hydological Processes:</p> <p>Otte, I, Detsch, F, G&uuml;tlein, A, Scholl, M, Kiese, R, Appelhans, T,&nbsp;Nauss, T 2017.
