Abstract
Dust devils are small-scale whirlwinds, driven by solar insolation [Sinclair, 1969]. Dust devils on Mars were first imaged by the Viking orbitersn [Thomas and Gierasch, 1985] and have since then been studied using the data measured by all successful orbiter and lander missions to Mars. It has been suggested that they maintain the background dust haze of the Martian atmosphere
