- Abstract
The article reports on the study which examines the effectiveness of modeled aerial-average root-zone soil moisture (RzSm) to predict the occurrences of severe summer convective weather in the cropped grassland of the Canadian Prairie provinces. The study calculated the aerial average RzSm levels in the dry and wet area, and plotted against the relative number of occurrences and number of event days that were recorded during the remainder of the growing season. It revealed that the relative number of occurrences and event days were greater in wet areas than in the dry areas.
