Short summary
We implemented water stable isotopologues in the non-hydrostatic mesoscale atmospheric model Meso-NH. We validated this isotopic version (Meso-NH-ISO) with a simulation of a well-documented squall line in the Sahel region. In future works, simulations with Meso-NH-ISO will be done on real cases of cyclones or squall lines. The goal is to better interpret and quantify isotopic observations on the field in terms of atmospheric processes that drive development and intensity of those thunderstorms.
