    • Scatterplots of the joint distributions of historical (1950-2005) drought-event characteristics derived from the SFWMD Super-grid datasets

    Metadata Updated: July 20, 2024

    The South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD) and the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) have evaluated projections of future droughts for south Florida based on climate model output from the Multivariate Adaptive Constructed Analogs (MACA) downscaled climate dataset from the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 5 (CMIP5).
    A Portable Document Format (PDF) file is provided which presents scatterplots of the joint distributions of historical (1950-2005) drought-event characteristics (duration and intensity) based on 6-mo. and 12-mo. averaged balance anomaly timeseries derived from the SFWMD Super-grid datasets. Plots of the joint distributions of drought-event characteristics are provided for four regions: (1) the entire South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD), (2) the Lower West Coast (LWC) water supply region, (3) the Lower East Coast (LEC) water supply region, and (4) the Okeechobee plus (OKEE+) water supply meta-region consisting of Lake Okeechobee (OKEE), the Lower Kissimmee (LKISS), Upper Kissimmee (UKISS), and Upper East Coast (UEC) water supply regions in the SFWMD.
