Relation between Convective Rainfall Properties and Antecedent Soil Moisture Heterogeneity Conditions in North Africa

Recent observational studies have demonstrated the relevance of soil moisture heterogeneity and the associated thermally-induced circulation on deep convection and rainfall triggering. However, whether this dynamical mechanism further influences rainfall properties—such as rain volume or t...
