Abstract

A neural network is trained to detect cold pools from cloud top temperature and precipitationThe method works reliably and a pseudo-3D approach, which includes dynamic cold pool evolution, performs bestThe method offers new perspectives for the cold pool detection from geostationary satellite observations over tropical land
