Soil moisture–precipitation coupling: observations from the Oklahoma Mesonet and underlying physical mechanisms

Interactions between soil moisture and the atmosphere are driven by the partitioning of sensible and latent heating, through which soil moisture has been connected to atmospheric modifications that could potentially lead to the initiation of convective precipitation. The majority of previous studies...
