Resumen:
The feedback between soil moisture and regional climate in the Gran Chaco region (a region that covers the Northeastof Argentina, East of Bolivia, most of Paraguay and a small part of Brazil) is examined usingthe WRF mesoscale model which includes NOAH module as land model with initial and boundary conditions from The National Center for Environmental Prediction (NCEP) Global Data Assimilation System (GDAS) analysis.To investigate this, sensitivity experiments with differents initial soil moisture conditions and land uses were conductedfor several 15-day period. We focus on the impact of changes in soil moisture and land use in the Gran Chaco Region on precipitationand circulation. In particular we evaluate the impact of these changes on the low level jet.
