Description:

Following four consecutive years of drought in California from 2011–15, questions once again arose about how much rainfall it would take to ameliorate (reduce) or eliminate the state’s long-term drought. Determining how much rain and snow must fall to end a meteorological and/or hydrological drought is a multifaceted challenge, yet it is a question routinely asked owing to the far-reaching societal and economic impacts of drought. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)/National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI) in collaboration with the National Integrated Drought Information System (NIDIS) hosts and maintains a drought amelioration website that aims to answer that question. The ultimate goal of NOAA’s drought ame-lioration website is to provide support information to aid in interaction with the media and the public when communicating about the uncertainty around the amelioration of drought and its impacts. Though the tool is national in scope, the unprecedented drought over California and Nevada merited a focus on this region for this effort.
