We reconciled these data to each other and the other spatial data sets used in the Conservation Assessment before assembling them for this graph. Since the source data sets contained inconsistencies from the outset, we expect some inconsistency in this summary. Completeness_Report: As complete as possible, at the time of publication, in terms of source data we were able to collect. Lineage: Process_Step: Process_Description: Graphs adapted from data provided by the National Climatic Data Center, NOAA. From the National Drought Mitigation Center 2004. Graphs repesent the Palmer Drought Severity Index (1965), which measures the degree of departure based on precipitation, temperatures and avaialable water capacity.
