and October). an atmospheric intensive field campaign was carried
in the southwestern region of the Amazon Basin within the
framework of. The Large Scale Biosphere Atmosphere Experiment in
Amazonia -LBA. The specific objectives of the DRYTOWET/LBA
campaign were 10 describe and analyze: the global and large scale
conb{"}ols of the beginning of the rainy season in the Amazon
Region; the impact of convection in the Amazon region on the
global and regional cl{\'{\i}}mate in the transition season; the
transition season in terms of cloud patlem evolution and aerosol
concentration; the weather systems and air mass evolution during
the transit{\'{\i}}on from the dry to wet season; the several
convective features of the Ar1:1azon region in lhe transition
season including fite cycle. rainfall intens{\'{\i}}ly,
l{\'{\i}}ghtning. dynamics and thermodynamics; the relationship
between CCN and convective patterns; the temperature

the evolution of the PBL during the transition season as a
function of soil mo{\'{\i}}sture and of evapotranspiration; the
