River Proximity and Topographic Effects on Precipitation in the Eastern 
Amazon Basin

I review precipitation measurements organized by our team during the 
LBA-ECO field project in the eastern Amazon Basin. The relative 
importance of mesoscale river breezes and large-scale squall lines on 
regional precipitation patterns will be discussed. Remote sensing 
rainfall estimates and selected mesoscale model results will be used to 
assess hypotheses resulting from the data analysis. Perils that 
accompany the making of gridded rainfall data products will be mentioned 
in a final rant.
