A Numerical Investigation of the Effects of Dry Air Aloft on Deep Convection (2009, background): “In an investigation of environmental conditions associated with derecho events, Evans and Doswell (2001) concluded that DCAPE is a reasonable proxy for cold pool strength, implying a causal connection between dry air aloft and enhanced low-level outﬂow strength.”
NOTES AND CORRESPONDENCE Comments on "'A Theory for Strong Long-Lived Squall Lines' Revisited" (2005, background): “While Evans and Doswell (2001) did not explicitly examine the convective organization of the derecho-producing convective systems in their study, it is our experience that derecho-producing convective systems without continuous and intense leading-line convective cells are rare.”
Low-Level Mesovortices within Squall Lines and Bow Echoes. Part I: Overview and Dependence on Environmental Shear (2003, result): “Similar to the observational studies (e.g., Johns and Hirt 1987; Evans and Doswell 2001), the environments for simulated severe convective systems generally include large CAPEs and moderate low-to-midlevel shear of at least 10–15 m s (cid:50) 1 over the lowest 2–5 km AGL.”
Climatology and Ingredients of Significant Severe Convection in High-Shear, Low-CAPE Environments (2014, methodology): “This is consistent with Evans and Doswell (2001) and Kuchera and Parker (2006), who found that groundrelative wind velocities were better discriminators than shear magnitudes between convection-producing severe winds and nonsevere convection.”
Vortex Structure and Evolution within Bow Echoes. Part I: Single-Doppler and Damage Analysis of the 29 June 1998 Derecho (2004, methodology): “Previous modeling and observational studies (e.g., Johns and Hirt 1987; Weisman 1993; Evans and Doswell 2001) have shown that derecho-producing environments are characterized by large convective instability and moderate to strong low-level shear.”
Cold Pools and MCS Propagation: Forecasting the Motion of Downwind-Developing MCSs (2003, result): “Large-scale forcing was weak, similar to situations described by Coniglio and Stensrud (2001) and Evans and Doswell (2001).”
Surface Characteristics of Observed Cold Pools (2008, methodology): “K value calculated by Evans and Doswell (2001) for derecho-producing convective systems and the 8.9-”
