🌧️We explored how variations in soil moisture impact the formation and organization of storm systems, particularly in the Amazon and southeastern South America. 🧵⬇️

[Laura Paccini @LauraPaccini]

➡️This study provides insights for predicting rainfall changes in regions experiencing land surface modifications, as these alter gradients and may impact storm behavior.
This cool AI-generated figure shows a storm forming over contrasting soil moisture conditions in the Amazon.

[Laura Paccini @LauraPaccini]

➡️Areas with greater soil moisture (SM) heterogeneity consistently develop larger and more organized storm systems.
➡️ SM gradients foster favorable atmospheric conditions especially in regions with weak large-scale influences, like the Amazon.
