Abstract Soil moisture can influence precipitation through a feedback loop with land surface evapotranspiration. A series of numerical simulations, including soil moisture sensitivity experiments, have been performed for the Indian summer monsoon season (ISM). The simulations were carried out with the nonhydrostatic regional climate model Consortium for Small-Scale Modeling (COSMO) in climate mode (COSMO-CLM), driven by lateral boundary conditions derived from the ECMWF Interim reanalysis (ERA-Interim). Positive as well as negative feedback processes through local and remote effects are shown to be important. The regional moisture budget studies have exposed that changes in precipitable water and changes in precipitation efficiency vary in importance, in time, and in space in the simulations for India. Overall, the results show that the premonsoonal soil moisture has a significant influence on the monsoonal precipitation, and thus confirmed that modeling of soil moisture is essential for reliable simulation and forecasting of the ISM.
