NASA’s Short-term Prediction and Transition Center – Land Information System (SPoRT-LIS) provides high-resolution (about 3-km) gridded soil moisture products in real-time to support regional and local modeling and improve situational awareness.

NLDAS Drought Monitor Products: an experimental drought monitor derived from near real-time soil moisture output from both the NASA MOSAIC and NCEP Noah land surface models.

Quick Drought Response Index (QuickDRI): a geospatial tool that characterizes the intensification of short-term drought condition patterns on a weekly basis across the continental United States (CONUS) at a 1-km gridded spatial resolution.

A team of scientists at the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center conducted research to quantify the relative importance—or “drought explainability”—of specific indicators with respect to the U.S. Drought Monitor.
