History and Applications of Dust Devil Studies
Get PDFStudies of dust devils, and their impact on society, are reviewed. Dust devils have been noted since antiquity, and have been documented in many countries, as well as on the planet Mars. As time-variable vortex entities, they have become a cultural motif. Three major stimuli of dust devil research are identified, nuclear testing, terrestrial climate studies, and perhaps most significantly, Mars research. Dust devils present an occasional safety hazard to light structures and have caused several deaths

We also consider some approaches which have been taken to model Saturn's moon Titan, also a slowly-rotating body with an optically thick, dense atmosphere which super-rotates compared to Titan's surface
