Fig. 9From: Numerical simulation of a heavy rainfall event over Mindanao, Philippines, on 03 May 2017: mesoscale convective systems under weak large-scale forcingSchematic diagram demonstrating the development of MCSs. Sea breeze on the western coast supplied the abundant moisture that developed MCS-1 in the basin. The precipitating downdrafts of MCS-1 formed cold pools that contributed to its upscale growth. The interaction of the southeasterly winds and Mount Apo terrain developed MCS-2, and its precipitating downdrafts formed a cold pool that assisted its maintenance and growthBack to article page
