A team of scientists found that a strengthened change in ocean temperatures from west to east (or gradient) in the tropical Pacific during the preceding winter is the main driver of more frequent heat waves in Texas. 

The NOAA CPO Modeling, Analysis, Predictions, and Projections (MAPP) program co-hosted a webinar with the National Integrated Drought Information System (NIDIS) program on the topic California Drought 2011-2017: A Story About the Historic Drought on Tuesday, May 29, 2018, 2- 3 p.m. ET.

This new report from MAPP's Drought Task Force and NIDIS highlights the state of the Task Force's knowledge on temperature and drought.

Check out research and program highlights, as well as MAPP Task Force updates.
