Abstract
Drought has been a common feature in large portions of the United States during the past decade. To the casual observer, the frequency of recent droughts may signal a change in climate, a possible forewarning of global warming. Viewed in the context of the nation’s climatic history, the pattern of the past decade is not unusual.
