2  Importance of climate-weather interface ◦ Seasonal forecasting  Agriculture  Water resource management

3  Climate Data – Monthly Indexes ◦ PNA,PDO,ENSO,NAO,AO ◦ Climate Prediction Center (NOAA)  Temporal Coverage – 1955 to present  Temporal Resolution - Monthly  Precipitation Data ◦ NOAA's PRECipitation REConstruction Dataset (PREC)  Temporal Coverage – 1948 to present  Temporal Resolution - Monthly  Spatial Coverage – Global  Spatial Resolution – 2.5° latitude x 2.5° longitude

4  Precipitation data split into six regional datasets which cover the Northwest, Southwest, North-central, South-central, Northeast, and Southeast United States  Grid points in each region are summed to obtain a single monthly precipitation anomaly for each region
