They come in fast and block out the sun. Dust storms pop up out of nowhere and are a danger for drivers on the open highways of the southwest.

Dust Storms May Exist follows the trajectory of a 10,000-mile road trip, exploring the geography, music, and history of America while mapping its astonishments and disillusionments. Ben Groner III searches for a dead father, wrestles with belief and doubt, yearns for sensuality, and recalls the freedom and loneliness of traveling in South America. Bluegrass and cowboy songs seep across the pages as he moves through canyons, bayous, cornfields, museums, gas stations, dance halls, and memory’s refracting landscapes. These poems are a reckoning with what his country is and could be, a meditation on the palpability of absence, a discovery of the searing border between friendship and love, a realization that longing revolves at the core of all experience.

Fundamental responsibility for the great dust storm of 1934 rests with drought, not only the drought of that one year but the cumulative effect of a deficiency of rainfall of several preceding years. There had been a gradual decline in rainfall, together with a gradual increase in temperature over this area for several years.

An investigation of dust storms in the Southern Great Plains was conducted to determine correlations between dust and precipitation, Antecedent Precipitation Index (API), wind, time of occurrence, and dew-point depression. Relationships between blowing dust and characteristics of the Southern Great Plains, agricultural practices, location of source regions, transport mechanisms, and favorable synoptic situations also were considered. Data used in this study consisted of surface observations from 34 Southern Great Plains weather stations during February through May for a 10-yr period (1966-1975). Results of the analyses showed an insignificant correlation of precipitation amounts prior to a dust storm. Also, dew-point depression was weakly correlated to dust generation. A negative correlation existed between API and the number of stations reporting dust. It was found that wind speed and direction were significantly correlated with occurrences of dust. The greatest frequency of occurrences of dust was between 1800 to 0100 GMT (12:00 to 7:00 PM CST). It was determined that the location of a source region was an important factor for generation of dust. (Author).

Dust storms are considered natural hazards, which affect ecosystems for a short interval of time ranging from a few hours to a few days. Due to the significant impact of dust outbreaks on climate, human health and ecosystems, numerous studies have been conducted throughout the world with differing instrumentation and techniques focusing on the investigation about such events. This book provides a short review on the recent knowledge about the dust aerosol optical and physico-chemical properties, the seasonal variability of dust outbreaks, the dust source regions, and the main results of similar studies. This book also presents two dust storm spring seasonal prediction models. The algorithm of the first one is similar to a weather forecast scheme, and the second one is a multivariable regression model. Furthermore, nearly every year, usually during March to May, the Korean Peninsula has experienced several Asian Dust storm events. Analytical results for three different sample sets related to Asian dust storm phenomena are discussed here. In addition, the meteorological condition is one of the determinative factors for the dust storm occurrence. The authors of this book examine the effectiveness and application of a meteorological descriptor quantifying the daily dust storm happening probability, which is referred to as the dust storm occurrence probability index (DSOPI). The dust-related climate in North China and its prediction by statistical modelling and an Atmospheric General Circulation Model (AGCM) for climate are addressed as well since they may contribute to forecasting dust storms.
