Mesoscale soil moisture heterogeneity can locally amplify humid heat
Guillaume Chagnaud, Chris M Taylor, Lawrence S Jackson +4
Soil moisture is a key ingredient of humid heat through supplying moisture and modifying boundary layer properties. Soil moisture heterogeneity due to e.g., antecedent rainfall, ca…

Homogeneous soil moisture fields suppress Sahelian MCS frequency
Ben Maybee, Cornelia Klein, Christopher M. Taylor +2
Understanding controls on Mesoscale Convective Systems (MCSs) is critical for predicting rainfall extremes across scales. Spatial variability of soil moisture (SM) presents such a…
