Soil Moisture Mediation of Land-Atmosphere Interactions

Session ID#: 160436

Session Description:
Soil moisture both constrains, and responds to, fluxes of water and energy between the land and atmosphere. Spatial and temporal variability in soil moisture is imprinted on vegetation and surface fluxes, the state of the atmospheric boundary layer, and local and regional weather and climate, and exerts a strong influence on hydrometeorological extremes, including heatwaves, droughts and floods. This session invites studies that take advantage of new advances in theory, modeling or observations to provide novel insights into mechanisms by which soil moisture influences weather and climate over land through coupled land-atmosphere processes. Extreme event case studies, as well as idealized model simulations at LES-, regional-, and global-scale are encouraged. Studies related to prediction and predictability are relevant, as are studies that integrate new soil texture and rooting depth datasets (i.e., GEWEX SoilWat Initiative).
