Precipitation Variability over the Forest-to-Nonforest Transition in Southwestern Amazonia
Prior research has shown that deforestation in the southwestern Amazon enhances the formation of nonprecipitating shallow cumulus clouds, while deep cumulus convection was favored over forested land. The research presented here further investigates the trends of hydrometeors in the area by examining...
