The drought monitor is a multi-agency effort involving NOAA's National Weather Service and National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI), the USDA, State and Regional Center Climatologists and the National Drought Mitigation Center. Information for the drought statements has been gathered from NWS, FAA and CoCoRaHS observation sites, Iowa State and Illinois Cooperative Extension Services, the USDA, COE and USGS. |
