`No, no! The adventures first,' said the Gryphon in an impatient tone: `explanations take such a dreadful time.'

“Well! I've often seen a cat without a grin,” thought Alice;but a grin without a cat! It's the most curious thing I eversaw in my life!”
“Bem! Já vi muitas vezes um gato sem sorriso”, pensouAlice, “mas um sorriso sem gato! É da coisa mais curiosaque já vi em toda minha vida.”

Measuring convective precipitation in the Amazon (anywhere?) is still a challenge.
Tools:
• Conventional rain gauge network: daily totals, some stations with hourly data(Hidro, INMET)
• LBA-ECO special observations
• CMORPH remotely sensed rainfall (Joyce et al.) Passive microwave, CMORPH uses IR only as a transport vehicle, i.e. IR data are NOT used to make estimates of rainfall when passive microwave data are not available.
• BRAMS model

1. Need to know what kind of rainfall is occurring & how much.
2. Astronauts are useful!
Which station is ‘representative’?

Gridded (Liebman) rainfall totals looks like that seen along the river, but there is less rainfall inland--where is the ‘breeze suppression’?

• BRAMS = Brazilian developments on the Regional Atmospheric (RAMS) (Cotton et al., 2003). [simulations performed by Prof. Júlia Cohen, UFPa, Brasil
• The model’s initialization was variable, each 6 hours, with the analysis of CPTEC’s global model, the radiosondes and the available surface data.
• The integration period was 36 hours, initiating on June, 02, 2006, at 12 UTC.
• surface vegetation, radiation, cloud microphysics modules.
• Grell’s deep convective parameterization and shallow convection parameterization.
• Control and Topography Experiments now. In future, examine role of background flow on river breeze convergence & local rainfall

Hints of convergence after squall passage at Vila Franca

Left to do:Large land use change boundaries sharp, but ‘vegetation breeze’ is subordinate to the river breeze. Or, is there any veggie breeze?
Does such a breeze still occur on days following rain? ??? () think so!

Not just total rainfall, not just rainfall types, but also ‘irrigation frequency’

look at how the breeze circulations may enhance rainfall inland (daytime)
& how convergence over the river confluence may do so (night).

Conclusions
• Observed: Near-river stations do indeed miss the afternoon convective rain as would be expected if a river breeze influence dominates.
• Observed: This deficiency is more than compensated by additional nocturnal rainfall. This effect is local; for areas only a few kilometers inland from the rivers, nocturnal squall lines contribute less than half of total precipitation.
• Still hypothesis: Breeze circulations associated with the Amazon River (with a wind component approximately normal to the mean flow) affect rainfall more than does the Tapajós breeze (which approximately opposes the prevailing wind).
• Observed/Modeled: Even subtle topography modulates squall lines and enhances rainfall.
Describing the proper mixture of precipitation types should be a concern for those assessing model sensitivity, especially since the reanalysis rainfall data are believed to be flawed.
56
Some remaining research questions
• What mechanism explains how mesoscale circulations, related to the large lake-like expanse of water at the confluence responsible for the nocturnal precipitation preference?
• As squall lines approach this region, does enhanced moist inflow augmented by southerly channeling up the Tapajós and easterly channeling along the Amazon fuel the storm as it approaches?
• On normal afternoons, how far inland must one go to get the precipitation ‘representative’ of the region?
° What is the role of topography in enhancing rainfall, especially N of the Amazon river?

“Who cares for you?” said Alice, (she had grown to her fullsize by this time.) “You're nothing but a pack of cards!”
“Quem se importa com vocês?”, disse Alice (ela tinha chegado aseu tamanho normal a esa altura). “Voces não passam de umbaralho de cartas!”
