Short summary
We developed and validated a model to correct for water vapor diffusion in sampling bags, enabling reconstruction of the original isotopic composition. We quantified all major sources of error and their uncertainties and introduced permeability experiments as a necessary step before field sampling. This study improves the accuracy, reliability, and standardization of atmospheric isotope observations using air bags.
