Title:The Physics of Drought in the U.S. Central Great Plains

Info: This paper quantifies the roles of high temperatures and precipitation deficits in drought events in the central great plains with a Ìýfocusing on the 2012 event. Additionally, 1050 years of climate simulations were analyzed to identify key processes and potential elements of predictability associated with drought.
