Abstract
Previous modelling and case studies highlight the impacts of antecedent soil moisture on precipitation, showing the connection between the anomalous land surface and atmospheric conditions. However, observational evidence is lacking, especially on daily timescales, primarily due to the difficulty in assessing the interaction between soil moisture and atmospheric variability and dataset quality. Using satellite retrievals, this study investigates the relationship between soil moisture and next-day precipitation in Australia. Analysing the 5 year soil moisture data from the Cyclone Global Navigation Satellite System, we find that soil moisture anomalies influence next-day precipitation probabi..
