A dip in the pool: analyzing the stability of the Mid-Atlantic cold pool

2023
As of March 2023, the U.S. Department of Energy announced the nationwide renewable energy goal of 30 gigawatts (GW) of renewable offshore wind energy by 2030 and setting the standard of 110 GW by 2050. The location of these offshore wind energy areas (WEAs) span along the Mid-Atlantic Bight (MAB) and overlap with the seasonally occurring Cold Pool. The

Cold air pools over Europe

Meteorology and Atmospheric Physics, 1990
Cold pools over Europe and the surrounding seas during the years 1974 to 1983 are briefly analysed regarding their seasonal and geographical distribution as well as their motion, size and other features. Certain criteria are established to identify cold pools.

Modeling of pool fires in cold regions

Fire Safety Journal, 2012
Abstract Fires and especially pool fires are among the most frequent accidents in process facilities. Flame impingement and thermal radiation are the main hazardous characteristics of pool fires. Pool fires have been the subject of numerous modeling and experimental studies covering a variety of areas such as fire and flame structure, emissive power,

Cold pool propagation and cold pool-land surface interactions

Convective cold pools are important components of the Earth system as they influence processes such as deep convective initiation, storm longevity and intensity, surface energy fluxes, and aerosol transport. The overarching goal of the research outlined in this dissertation is to investigate the propagation characteristics of cold pools, as well as the

The Persistent Cold-Air Pool Study

Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society, 2013
The Persistent Cold-Air Pool Study (PCAPS) was conducted in Utah's Salt Lake valley from 1 December 2010 to 7 February 2011. The field campaign's primary goal was to improve understanding of the physical processes governing the evolution of multiday cold-air pools (CAPs) that are common in mountain basins during the winter.

A Lagrangian perspective on cold pool collisions

2020
<p>Collisions represent one of the most important processes through which cold pools—essential boundary layer features of precipitating systems—help to organize convection. For example, by colliding with one another, expanding cold pools can trigger new convective cells, a process that has been argued ...

Maintenance of a Mountain Valley Cold Pool: A Numerical Study

Monthly Weather Review, 2006
Abstract A persistent cold-air pool in the Yampa Valley of northwestern Colorado was simulated with the fifth-generation Pennsylvania State University–National Center for Atmospheric Research Mesoscale Model (MM5). The observed cold-air pool, which was identified by temperature measurements along a line of surface stations ascending the ...

On gust characteristics of cold pools 

Cold pools are mesoscale atmospheric phenomena associated with showers and thunderstorms, they are characterized by a sudden temperature drop, pressure jump and strong gusty winds. At their edges, cold pools may trigger the onset of deep convection. Many studies focused on the temperature distribution and dynamics associated with cold pools while the ...

Convective Cold Pools and Tropical Cyclones

Monthly Weather Review
Abstract Convective cold pools (CPs) are inherent to mesoscale convective systems and have been identified in tropical cyclone (TC) eyewalls and rainbands. However, their distribution within TCs and their impacts on the TC enthalpy balance are not well understood. This gap is due to the scarcity of high-frequency observations over the ocean.

Morning breakup of cold pools in complex terrain

Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 2008
Under fair weather conditions, local flow patterns in areas of complex topography are driven by diurnal heating and cooling. If the topography is basin-shaped, downslope flows occurring at night accumulate (pool) in the basin valley to form a stable layer of cold air.
