Resumen:
Soil moisture plays an important and complex role in the climate predictability, since it interacts with the atmosphere on different spatial and temporal scales. Some authors have suggested that soil moisture horizontal contrasts are associated with convective precipitation on different spatial scales. Here, the possible connection between the soil moisture horizontal gradient and extreme precipitation is investigated, using a regional climate model over Southeastern South America.
