Seeds for the historic drought of 2012 were sown during the back-to-back La Nina episodes of 2010-11 and 2011-12. La Nina, a name given to anomalous cooling of the equatorial waters of the central and eastern Pacific Ocean, often correlates with drought development and expansion across the southern United States. Indeed, drought began to develop across the southern tier of the U.S. during the winter of 2010-11, and quickly intensified during the 2011 growing season. Effects of the 2011 drought were particularly severe in the south-central U.S. Published by Elsevier B.V.
