DOI: 10.1002/qj.5032
Abstract: Understanding the physical processes driving deep convective storms is an essential prerequisite for understanding the wider tropical atmosphere. Cold pools driven by rainfall evaporation are a ubiquitous feature of mesoscale convective systems (MCSs) that have… read more here.

DOI: 10.1029/2023ms003682
Abstract: Recent observations and modeling increasingly reveal the key role of cold pools in organizing the convective cloud field. Several methods for detecting cold pools in simulations exist, but are usually based on buoyancy fields and… read more here.

DOI: 10.1175/mwr-d-20-0226.1
Abstract: Many numerical studies have focused on the importance of baroclinically generated vorticity at the edge of cold pools in supercellular tornadogenesis, and observational work has consistently found that strongly tornadic supercells have less dense, more… read more here.

DOI: 10.1175/mwr-d-23-0092.1
Abstract: Previous work found that cold pools in ordinary convection are more sensitive to the microphysics scheme when the lifting condensation level (LCL) is higher owing to a greater evaporation potential, which magnifies microphysical uncertainties. In… read more here.
