                         and its impact on the modeling of weather systems is presented. 
                         Sensitivity tests of precipitation to soil type and soil moisture 
                         changes are carried out using the atmospheric Eta model for the 
                         numerical simulation of the development of a mesoscale convective 
                         system over northern Argentina. Modified initial soil moisture 
                         conditions were obtained from a hydrological balance model 
                         developed and running operationally at INPE. A new soil map was 
                         elaborated using the available soil profile information from 
                         Brazil, Paraguay, Uruguay, and Argentina and depicts 18 different 
                         soil types. Results indicate that more accurate initial soil 
                         moisture conditions and incorporating a new soil map with 
                         hydraulic parameters, more representative of South American soils, 
                         improve daily total precipitation forecasts both in quantitative 
                         and spatial representations.",
