Figure 3.51. Illustration of how the movement of a cold pool relative to the movement of a
growing cell results in a phase shift of the buoyancy-induced vertical circulation of the growing
cell with respect to the buoyancy-induced vertical circulation of a new cell, such that it is
suppressed from above by a subsiding branch of the older cell. Idealized streamlines, etc.,
shown in the reference frame of the cold pool, which moves to the right (adapted from Fovell
and Tan, 1998).
