TL;DR: In this article, the authors derived a forest drought-stress index (FDSI) for the southwestern United States using a comprehensive tree-ring data set representing AD 1000-2007, which is approximately equally influenced by the warm-season vapour-pressure deficit (largely controlled by temperature) and cold-season precipitation, together explaining 82% of the FDSI variability.
Journal ArticleDOI
Long-Term Aridity Changes in the Western United States
TL;DR: Using gridded drought reconstructions that cover most of the western United States over the past 1200 years, it is shown that this drought pales in comparison to an earlier period of elevated aridity and epic drought in AD 900 to 1300, an interval broadly consistent with the Medieval Warm Period.
Journal ArticleDOI
2000 Years of Drought Variability in the Central United States
TL;DR: The authors examined the full range of past natural drought variability, deduced from a com- prehensive review of the paleoclimatic literature, suggests that droughts more severe than those of the 1930s and 1950s are likely to occur in the future, a likelihood that might be exacerbated by greenhouse warming in the next century.
Journal ArticleDOI
Megadroughts in North America: placing IPCC projections of hydroclimatic change in a long-term palaeoclimate context
Edward R. Cook,Richard Seager,Richard R. Heim,Russell S. Vose,Celine Herweijer,Connie A. Woodhouse +5 more
TL;DR: The Living Blended Drought Atlas (LBDA) as mentioned in this paper was developed to reveal past megadroughts of unprecedented duration in the West, largely in the Medieval period about 1000 years ago.
Journal ArticleDOI
Medieval drought in the upper Colorado River Basin

TL;DR: The most extreme low-frequency feature of the new reconstruction, covering A.D. 762-2005, is a hydrologic drought in the mid 1100s, characterized by a decrease of more than 15% in mean annual flow averaged over 25 years, and by the absence of high annual flows over a longer period of about six decades.
