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a set of five new site chronologies from a growth-and-yield study conducted by Oklahoma State University and the unpublished Shortleaf Canyon chronology from a master's thesis at the University of Arkansas.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,ARSTAN,N, ## numsamp number of samples,,,count,,tree ring,,,N, # #-------------------- # Data: # Missing_Values: -999 age_CE trsgi numsamp 1939 901 3 1940 1062 3 1941 1323 3 1942 1360 3 1943 850 3 1944 940 5 1945 891 7 1946 871 8 1947 813 8 1948 952 9 1949 1048 12 1950 1145 13 1951 1153 13 1952 1021 13 1953 950 13 1954 597 13 1955 933 13 1956 567 13 1957 1104 13 1958 1101 14 1959 1354 14 1960 1174 15 1961 1334 15 1962 1242 16 1963 875 16 1964 975 16 1965 1209 16 1966 1126 16 1967 1086 16 1968 1066 16 1969 826 17 1970 1644 17 1971 1481 17 1972 1127 17 1973 1278 17 1974 944 17 1975 836 18 1976 885 18 1977 1135 18 1978 706 18 1979 675 18 1980 374 18 1981 697 18 1982 562 18 1983 801 18 1984 716 18 1985 517 18 1986 710 18 1987 636 18 1988 722 18 1989 907 18 1990 885 18 1991 988 18 1992 644 18 1993 806 18 1994 1320 18 1995 1350 18 1996 1627 18 1997 1160 18 1998 1412 18 1999 1433 18 2000 1351 18 2001 748 18 2002 629 18 2003 907 18 2004 961 18 2005 1164 18 2006 1267 18 2007 1537 16
