Microphysical evidence of the transition between predominant convective/stratiform rainfall associated with the intraseasonal oscillation in the Southwest Amazon Evidência microfísica da transição entre períodos convectivos e estratiformes associados à oscilação intrasazonal na região sudoeste da Amazônia

The distinction between convective and stratiform precipitation profiles around various precipitating systems existent in tropical regions is very important to the global atmospheric circulation, which is extremely sensitive to vertical latent heat distribution. In South America, the convective acti...
