for the forecaster. The chapter brings new research from AMMA into forecasting, such as the dependence of measures of daily maximum/minimum temperatures on soil moisture and new observations of wind shear in the lower boundary layer. Topics discussed include gravity waves, inertial oscillations, land–sea breezes and related cloudiness, winds and convective initiation related to land surface characteristics, surface energy fluxes, low-level shear, and fog. A critical forecasting element influencing
