        GIS Divisional Data is a product offered by The National Climatic 
Data Center (NCDC). This product provides data access to current U.S. temperature, 
precipitation and drought indices. Divisional indices included are: 
Precipitation Index, Palmer Drought Severity Index, Palmer Hydrological
Drought Index, Modified Palmer Drought Severity Index, Temperature, Palmer 
Z Index, Cooling Degree Dauys, Heating Degree Days, 1-Month Standardized 
Precipitation Index (SPI), 2-Month (SPI), 3-Month (SPI), 6-Month (SPI),
12-Month (SPI) and the 24-Month (SPI). All of these indices, except for 
the SPI&apos;s, are available for Regional, State and National views as well.

These data are extracted from the U.S. Temperature-Precipitation-Drought Index 
(DSI-9640) (C00005) and are updated on a monthly basis. Data formats include
space delimited text, comma delimited text, xml and graphical outputs.
