Figure 1: This is my hypothesis for the United States Southwestern Monsoon. It says that if we get more(less)
winter precipitation and spring snowpack that this yeilds more(less) spring soil moisture which yields lower(higher) spring
surface temperatures..equals a weaker(stronger) monsoon.
Monsoon Regions
Figure 2: This is a map of the United States showing four areas which are broken up into MW (Monsoon West),
MN (Monsoon North), MS (Monsoon South), ME (Monsoon East).
