Name: ____________________________________________ Questions 1: Write a definition for drought, in your own words. 2: Which areas in the continental U.S. consistently received less precipitation than normal during January 2008? 3 : Based on your explorations, describe the locations that you think were developing or experiencing drought by June of 2008. 4 : If an area shows just one stream gage location with lower-than-normal streamflow, can you assume that the area is in drought? Why or why not? Describe one or more conditions besides drought that could account for low streamflow. 5 : Based on patterns in the streamflow data, predict which areas of the country are experiencing drought. 6 : How well did your predictions match the drought monitor map? Describe areas where your predictions were correct and areas where they did not match. 7 : Of the two main types of data you examined—precipitation and the streamflow— which of the two seems to be a better predictor of drought conditions identified by the Drought Monitor layer? 8 : Access and interpret the current PDSI map image .
