English: Application of NASA SPoRT-Land Information System (SPoRT-LIS) Soil Moisture Data for Drought

Part 2: Early and Established Applications of LIS for Drought Analysis in Operations

-SPoRT-LIS Early Use and Value in Local Operations; Application of Percentile and Differences by Kris White (25-30 minutes)

-Early use of LIS for drought and eventual use for USDM
-How to consider LIS layers and vegetation types
-What is the context in terms of known climatology? - Percentiles, differences (weekly, etc.) and their application

-US Drought Monitor Application of SPoRT-LIS with Existing Data and Methods by Richard Heim (15-20 minutes)

-Convergence of Evidence: How/Why does SPoRT LIS provide value compared to an existing dataset or as a complement?
-From a national view, how does SPoRT-LIS output best provide value
-Short-term vs Long-term drought analysis with SPoRT LIS; 

-State / Regional Climate Application of SPoRT-LIS for Drought Trend Assessments by Barrett Smith and Corey Davis (15-20 minutes)

-Applications for decision making (flash drought, emerging from drought, state-level decisions/actions, conflicting drought indicators)
-Workflow Integration
-Examples of assessing emergence from drought and impacts from extreme events

-Q&A Session (20-30 minutes)
