Model calculation of the amount effect of winter precipitation based on the δ18OW data of 78 meteoric water samples collected during winter months (December to February) at Toyama (Sone et al. 2013). a Comparison of the frequency of winter precipitation based on 50 years of data from the Toyama weather observatory (1969 to 2018; blue bar) and 700 virtual model calculation sets (red plots). Resampling 24–30 rain/snow events best reproduced the observed frequency (mean and standard deviation) of cumulative winter precipitation. b Cross plot of winter precipitation and δ18OW in meteoric water. A weak but clear correlation is evident between these two variances
