Climatic data (from year 500 to 2000, left to right) for the eastern USA including temperature anomaly for the northeastern USA and Palmer drought severity index (PDSI) from three sites north (top panel) and three sites south (middle panel) of the tension line. The PDSI data from the three northern locations were in Vermont, Michigan, and Wisconsin, while the three southern sites were in Virginia, south central Pennsylvania, and Kentucky. The annual PDSI values were smoothed using a 20-year running average. Climate data are from Mann et al. (2009) and the North American Drought Atlas (http://iridl.ldeo.columbia.edu/SOURCES?.LDEO/.TRL/.NADA2004/.pdsi-atlas.html)
