Hosted by Yale University and sponsored by the U. S. National Science Foundation, the Stable Water Vapor Isotope Database (SWVID) website archives high-frequency vapor isotope data collected with instruments based on infrared isotopic spectroscopy. The goal of this centralized data depository is to facilitate investigation that transcends disciplinary and geographic boundaries.
- Update on 2022/10/22: A new dataset, collected at TaiPei was added
- Update on 2020/05/25: A new dataset, collected at Incheon, South Korea, was added
