Great. :-/
Any way you can summarize some of that in English by the way?
Well, it’s a bit long, but the key point is that Mongolia had its warmest winter in 60 years and precipitation was extremely low, which means a ton of dust coming to Korea not only this spring, but every spring for the next five years. According to a 2003 report by the Mongolian nature and environment ministry, some 684 rivers, 760 lakes and 1,484 wells have dried up, and needless to say the drier it gets, the more dust that gets picked up by the springtime westerlies that carry the dust our way.
