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 the current study, we explore whether the same reasoning can be applied to supercellular cold pools....

Using uncrewed aircraft systems (UASs) for routine weather observations is becoming increasingly feasible, but two open questions are the impact UAS observations will have on operational NWP and the optimal configuration of a UAS observing network. Deploying hundreds to thousands of UAS across the United States to answer these questions is not f...
