The role of soil moisture in the inland penetration of Indian monsoon low‐pressure systems

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
We use the Advanced Weather Research and Forecasting model to examine the role of soil moisture in the inland penetration of Indian monsoon low‐pressure systems (LPSs). We find that LPSs penetrate deeply into India despite a dry land surface; however, their inland penetration is adversely affected when there is a reduction in the total surface heat ...
