“…They form as convective downdrafts caused by evaporation of rainwater that originates from above the atmospheric boundary layer. Thus, the adequate representation of the multiscale interaction processes associated with cold pools in models may lead to the improvement of MJO prediction DeMott et al, 2015;Feng et al, 2015;Qian et al, 1998;Rowe & Houze, 2015;Schlemmer & Hohenegger, 2014;Seigel & van den Heever, 2011;Tompkins, 2001;Torri et al, 2015). Small cold pools sometimes are combined to form mesoscale features and typically last less than one day and span 10-200 km in diameter (Barnes & Garstang, 1982;Saxen & Rutledge, 1998;Young et al, 1995;Zipser, 1977;Zuidema et al, 2012Zuidema et al, , 2017.…”
