“…The three end-member values of δ 18 O and S used for the calculation are summarized in Table 1, together with the observed data from previous studies. The details behind the choice of end-member values can be found in Jung, Son, et al (2021) and other references (e.g., Bauch, 1995;Ekwurzel et al, 2001;Eicken et al, 2002;Pfirman et al, 2004;Mathis et al, 2007;Cooper et al, 2008;Yamamoto-Kawai et al, 2008;Logvinova et al, 2016). In brief, the S of river water, sea ice meltwater, and seawater were 0, 4, 34.8 psu, respectively, and the δ 18 O end-members −20‰, −2‰, and 0.28‰, respectively.…”
