Active dust devils in Gusev crater, Mars: Observations from the Mars Exploration Rover Spirit (2006, background): “However, 44 were seen in full, indicating a height range of 9 to 361 m compared to terrestrial dust devils which range from 1 to 2500 m in height, with most being 3–50 m high [Balme and Greeley, 2006].”
The physics of wind-blown sand and dust (2012, background): “On Mars, dust storms occasionally obscure the Sun over entire regions of the planet for days at a time, while their smaller cousins, dust devils, punctuate the mostly clear daytime skies elsewhere (Balme and Greeley 2006).”
High-resolution thermal inertia derived from the Thermal Emission Imaging System (THEMIS): Thermal model and applications (2006, background): “…and Veverka, 11101979; Thomas et al., 1981], dust devil activity [e.g., Thomas 1111and Gierasch, 1985; Greeley et al., 2003; Fisher et al., 11122005], and the movement of sand-sized particles at the 1113MER-Spirit landing site in Gusev Crater [e.g., Arvidson et 1114al., 2006; Greeley et al., 2006].”
