- Abstract
The article focuses on the drought experienced in California in 2013-2014, when less than 34 percent of the average 12-month accumulated precipitation was recorded that put nearly the whole state into extremely dry conditions. Topics discussed include the influence of the positive geopotential height (GPH) anomalies or Ridiculously Resilient Ridge over the northeastern Pacific Ocean on the drought and the result of a calculation of the probability of another 2013-like drought in the state.
