Figure 3. While resource managers are accustomed to using the US Drought Monitor to assess drought, the new drought reports use higher resolution data that can be more informative at the scale of BLM decisions, with data provided by University of California Merced developed in partnership with NOAA’s National Integrated Drought Information System. The figure above demonstrates how the drought indicators in the report capture local drought patterns that the US Drought Monitor doesn’t always capture.
