Arkansas and Oklahoma have a history of severe winter storms. To extend that history back beyond the reach of written records, a distinctive tree ring pattern or signature is needed. Storm-caused breakage, branch loss and bending stress provide that signature. We found a severe storm signature in shortleaf pine (Pinus echinata). We used three published site chronologies, a set of five new site chronologies from a growth-and-yield study conducted by Oklahoma State University and the unpublished Shortleaf Canyon chronology from a master's thesis at the University of Arkansas. Our method is based on two ring width values for the first and second growing seasons after the storm standardized to the ring widths of the seven growing seasons after the storm. Concordance between storm years predicted by tree ring patterns and actual storm years was tested using Cohen's Kappa. Concern about confounding of ice storm signals by droughts led us to test concordance between severe storms and drought in July, August and September; results were inconclusive but stand as a warning that these two phenomena cannot be distinguished with certainty in the tree ring record. Damaging severe storms occurred in about 2.8% of all years. Two out of three storms identified as "severe" produced glaze icing. #------------------- # Site_Information # Site_Name: Sand Lick # Location: Arkansas # Northernmost_Latitude: 34.7333 # Southernmost_Latitude: 34.7333 # Easternmost_Longitude: -93.45 # Westernmost_Longitude: -93.45 # Elevation: 260 #------------------- # Data_Collection # Collection_Name: AR080 # Earliest_Year: 1939 # Most_Recent_Year: 2007 # Time_Unit: AD # Notes: #------------------- # Species # Species_Name: Pinus echinata Mill. # Common_Name: shortleaf pine # Tree_Species_Code: PIEC #------------------- # Chronology_Information # Chronology: #--------------------- # Variables # variables format: shortname var components: what,material,error,units,season,archive,detail,method, C or N for Char or Numeric data,additional information ## age_CE age,,,year Common Era,,tree ring,,,N, ## trsgi tree ring standardized growth index,,,,,tree ring,composited,standard,N, ## numsamp number of samples,,,count,,tree ring,,,N, # #-------------------- # Data: # Missing_Values: -999 age_CE trsgi numsamp 1939 901 3 1940 1068 3 1941 1324 3 1942 1351 3 1943 892 6 1944 992 7 1945 966 8 1946 904 8 1947 792 9 1948 896 12 1949 1006 13 1950 1128 13 1951 1130 13 1952 1009 13 1953 948 13 1954 601 13 1955 950 13 1956 593 13 1957 1122 14 1958 1116 14 1959 1337 15 1960 1161 15 1961 1297 16 1962 1217 16 1963 842 16 1964 951 16 1965 1201 16 1966 1119 16 1967 1075 16 1968 1046 17 1969 816 17 1970 1643 17 1971 1465 17 1972 1095 17 1973 1255 17 1974 969 18 1975 843 18 1976 885 18 1977 1129 18 1978 700 18 1979 684 18 1980 392 18 1981 737 18 1982 601 18 1983 845 18 1984 753 18 1985 538 18 1986 754 18 1987 676 18 1988 765 18 1989 939 18 1990 903 18 1991 1000 18 1992 650 18 1993 823 18 1994 1341 18 1995 1363 18 1996 1633 18 1997 1125 18 1998 1378 18 1999 1396 18 2000 1312 18 2001 706 18 2002 605 18 2003 923 18 2004 988 18 2005 1186 18 2006 1293 18 2007 1465 16
