Well define diurnal cycle 0o – 15º S; Thermal and topographic circulation northern coast; 2.5 time wave across the Amazon Basin; Convective systems move preferably westward; Longer than expected propagating systems; Few eastward waves with westward propagation; Hope for improving weather forecast – stats + NWP; Gravity waves, cold pools, and steering levels; Moving cold fronts tend to organized convection over Amazon; CONCLUSION Third Workshop of the International Precipitation Working Group October 23-27, 2006, Melbourne, Australia
