## Abstract Drought can be viewed as a threeβdimensional phenomenon rather than simply a surface feature. We characterize drought across the western United States from 1973 to 2002 in a threeβdimensional context by examining its vertical moisture extent using NCEP/NCAR Reanalysis data derived from
Changing patterns of correlations between the historical average June -November Southern Oscillation Index (SOI) and October-March precipitation totals for 84 climate divisions in the western US indicate a large amount of variability in SOI/precipitation relations on decadal time scales.

## Abstract Oxygen and deuterium isotopes in precipitation were analysed to define local isotopic trends in Iowa, US. The area is far inland from an oceanic source and the observed averages of Ξ΄^18^O and Ξ΄ D are β 6Β·43β° and β 41Β·35β° for Ames, β 7Β·53β° and β 51Β·33β° for Cedar Falls, and β 6Β·01β° and β
