The Composite Drought Evaluator eXperiment (CoDEX) is an experimental product, produced by the Colorado Climate Center, that is designed to work as an indicator of predominant conditions within certain regions of the Intermountain West. It is a composite blend of different hydrologic indicators, which are assigned values consistent with U.S. Drought Monitor drought categories.

  • Yellow: blends in a drought category (D0-D4) that is consistent with USDM depiction.
  • Orange: blends worse than USDM and could be considered for degradations.
  • Green: blends better than USDM and could be considered for improvements.
  • White: Neither blends nor USDM show drought categories.

Data Sources:

This product is experimental and is for informational purposes only. It does not dictate what the U.S. Drought Monitor may look like in the future, and may not be a major source of information for the NIDIS Intermountain West DEWS webinars either.
