What does this research mean for the field?

The generation, source, and scale of mesoscale vortices within quasi-linear convective systems depend on ambient vertical wind shear, cold pool strength, and line segment scale, with weak-to-moderate shear environments primarily generating vortices via the tilting of horizontal vorticity from the system-scale cold pool.
