Land-surface controls on afternoon precipitation diagnosed from observational data: uncertainties and confounding factors

The feedback between soil moisture and precipitation has long been a topic of interest due to its potential for improving weather and seasonal forecasts. The generally proposed mechanism assumes a control of soil moisture on precipitation via the partitioning of the surface turbulent heat fl...
