Assessing the Moisture Transports Associated With Nocturnal Low-Level Jets in Continental South America

Given the crucial role of low-level circulation in convective events, this study presents a climatological characterization of the moisture sources and sinks associated with the occurrence of nocturnal low-level jets (NLLJs) in South America. Six selected NLLJ cores are identified according to the j...
