The many faces of drought
• Climatological – SPI deviation from normal• Hydrological – Streamflow, groundwater depth
o Local vs indirect• Agricultural – reduced growth, yield, quality
o Rainfed vs irrigatedo Duration, intensity, and timing
• Drought and heat
Outline• US Drought Portal
o NIDISo National drought monitor
• River Forecast Center• US Geological Survey• State Climate Offices
o LGMI high resolution monitoring• Southeast Climate Consortium
o KBDI forecasto LGMI monitoring and forecasto ARID monitoring
