Alternative Method USA Summer PDSI Reconstructions Regional Analysis- Time Series Plots
The 155 grid point PDSI field was separated into eight relatively homogenous regions of summer drought through a cluster analysis. For complete details on the analysis see the full data set description. The data can also be found at that site.
Values for 1700 - 1894 are reconstructed. Data for 1895 to 1978 are instrumental data from Cook et al 1999.
Click on a region number on the map below to get a PDSI time series for that region, or click on link below to view a time series averaged from the entire grid.
