We examine the connection between the strength of the subtropical anti-cyclone in the South Pacific, Peruvian stratocumulus and the South American Monsoon System. The approach is based on experiments with a coupled atmosphere-ocean general circulation model (GCM) in which different treatment of land surface processes in the atmospheric model provide different representations of convection over the continents. Specifically the atmospheric model is the University of California Los Angeles Atmospheric GCM (UCLA AGCM) in versions with simple land scheme (SLS) or the Simplified Simple Biosphere Model (SSiB) that allows for consideration of soil and vegetation biophysical processes. The oceanic GCM is the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Oceanic GCM (MIT OGCM). The impact of these land surface processes on the monsoon climatology shows improved convection in central Amazonia in the SSiB version, which is too strong in the version with SLS. The subtropical anticyclone in the South Pacific weakens, in a way consistent with the Rodwell-Hoskins mechanism, i.e., through the Rossby wave response to the west of the SAMS convection. The Peruvian stratocumulus is improvement due to both weaker subsidence and warmer underlying sea surface temperature. Key word: GCM, land surface processes, South Pacific anti-cyclone, stratocumulus
