ET map, that means the value exceeded the color scale range.<br \/>\nIf a large portion of a map exceeds the standard color scale, a customized map range will be used and the map will be marked with this icon:<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-25873\" src=\"https:\/\/extension.umaine.edu\/ipm\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/44\/2022\/03\/BeyondRange-Icon.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"74\" height=\"59\" srcset=\"https:\/\/extension.umaine.edu\/ipm\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/44\/2022\/03\/BeyondRange-Icon.png 238w, https:\/\/extension.umaine.edu\/ipm\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/44\/2022\/03\/BeyondRange-Icon-105x84.png 105w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 74px) 100vw, 74px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong><u>Soil Moisture indicators <\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The <strong>Variable Infiltration Capacity (VIC)<\/strong> soil water model accounts for the effects of precipitation additions, evapotranspiration (ET) losses, run-off, and drainage on the water content of the top meter of soil The VIC has been validated in the Northeast, but as with the Palmer Z Index, CMI and USDM, it does not account for variability between soil types, topography, tillage, and vegetative cover at the local scale. \u00a0The 1-month ahead VIC outlook does account for El Nino.\u00a0 All of the soil moisture values shown in this report are just general area-wide estimates that will differ from site-specific soil moisture.\u00a0 If the difference is consistent over time, then the general estimates may be of some use as predictive tools for your site.<\/p>\n<p>The VIC soil moisture is shown as the 0-100 percentile rank that compares the current condition to the 1916-2004 records for the same day of the year.\u00a0 If the current value is the lowest on record, then the percentile is 0.\u00a0 If the estimate equals the average of previous years, then the percentile is 50.\u00a0 If it is the highest value on record, the percentile is 100.\u00a0 The USDM categories are also defined by percentile.<\/p>\n<p>The <strong>Crop Moisture Index (CMI)<\/strong> indicates short-term (up to 4 weeks) dryness or wetness of the upper meter of soil.\u00a0 It is similar to the Palmer Z Index and responds quickly to changing conditions and can vary from week to week.\u00a0 The CMI may not apply to germinating seeds and shallow-rooted crops that are unable to extract deeper soil moisture, or to cool season crops when temperatures average below 55F.\u00a0 For clarity, the rating scale intervals has been rounded to whole numbers.\u00a0 The CMI does not account for small scale variation in soil type, topography, and the effect of plant cover on water balance.<\/p>\n<p>The <strong>Palmer Z Index<\/strong> will only be used if there is a monthly review.\u00a0 The Palmer Z is a commonly used drought index for short-term drought on a monthly scale.\u00a0 It reflects the departure from normal monthly moisture conditions using precipitation and temperature to estimate a simple water balance for one month. \u00a0Limited to just one month, it is a short-term drought measure without memory from previous months.\u00a0 For clarity the breakpoints between categories have been slightly adjusted from published values.<\/p>\n<p>The <strong>US Drought Monitor (USDM)<\/strong> tracks cumulative drought severity over many months.\u00a0 It will only be used for monthly reviews unless there is potential for a governmental drought disaster declaration.\u00a0 The USDM is based on temperature, precipitation supplemented with other observations such as stream flow, ground water, and reservoir status. The USDM has a longer lag time to respond to recent precipitation and drying than the other soil moisture measures described above.\u00a0 The USDM is shown because it provides long-term perspective for drought status and because it is used for drought disaster declarations and water access regulations.\u00a0 The VIC, Palmer Z Index, and CMI are more suitable measures of agricultural soil status and crop water needs.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong><u>This report is for looking, not reading.<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>An Extension colleague once told me that the ideal newsletter was \u201cShort enough to read between the mailbox and the front door.\u201d \u00a0This report breaks that rule by summarizing a great deal of information.
