How sensitive are Sahelian Mesoscale Convective Systems to cold pool suppression? AbstractUnderstanding the physical processes driving deep convective storms is an essential prerequisite for understanding the wider tropical atmosphere. Cold pools driven by rainfall evaporation are a ubiquitous feature of Mesoscale Convective Systems (MCSs) that have especially pronounced upscale effects in the climate of the West African Sahel, through their modulation of the regional monsoon circulation.

1 Introduction Deep moist convection dominates the tropical atmosphere. Up to 75% of tropical rainfall is attributed to convective storms (Feng et al., 2023; Roca et al., 2014). Yielding strong latent heat release from storm rainfall (C.
