A climatic index based on effective precipitation and wind velocity for a 3‐year period ending May 31 can be used to predict with considerable certainty the severity of wind erosion conditions during the succeeding calendar year. On the basis of predicted severity of wind erosion conditions, farmers can be advised whether or not they should initiate special methods to control impending wind erosion.
