AbstractHigh‐resolution air‐sea observations collected by a suite of remotely‐piloted uncrewed surface vehicles (USV) provide new insight on surface latent and sensible heat fluxes associated with convective cold pools over the eastern Pacific Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ). Convective cold pools are linked to isolated, heavily precipitating cells over the ocean that yield downdrafts of evaporatively‐cooled air that spreads out horizontally in all directions and are characterized by strong air temperature gradients and horizontal wind speeds. Cold pool frontal signatures are identified based on air temperature depression criteria of −1.5°C in 10 min or less, resulting in a total of 276 events observed within the eastern Pacific ITCZ across 590 total seadays of data from 10 drones over the course of 3 years. Composite analysis reveals enhanced latent and sensible heat fluxes from the ocean to the atmosphere immediately following the frontal passage, and a decomposition of the bulk flux formulas indicates that variations in latent heat flux are largely influenced by the anomalous wind field (i.e., the cold pool gust front) acting on the mean background air‐sea moisture gradient, while variations in sensible heat flux are largely influenced by the mean background wind acting on the anomalous air‐sea temperature gradient (i.e., the cold pool temperature front). High‐frequency variations in wind speed and velocity are further explored in the context of “gustiness” and averaging intervals used in bulk flux algorithms. A case study is also presented for a convective cold pool event captured by a traveling mesoscale network, or mesonet, of USVs.
