DESCRIPTION:Soil moisture has a significant effect on precipitation patter
 ns. In many parts of the world this feedback is negative\, meaning rain is
  more likely over drier soil\, which is not captured by non-convection per
 mitting climate models. The aim of this project is to investigate the Soil
  Moisture Precipitation Feedback in Austria and quantify its influence on 
 rainfall.\nAnalysis of precipitation events and preceding rainfall as prox
 y for soil moisture conditions show a strong positive feedback\, presumabl
 y due to strong synoptic influences in the Alpine region. To get more reli
 able soil moisture data\, the High Resolution Land Data Assimilation Syste
 m is used and run with observational forcing data. This data shows discrep
 ancies from observational data\, because of coarse soil texture classifica
 tion in the land surface model. Further\, the method to quantify the feedb
 ack\, applied by Taylor et al. (2012)\, Guillod et al. (2015) and Moon et 
 al. (2019)\, is presented in detail.​
