This is from a dust-devil simulation on earth, cropped from a Nasa report. Apologies but I can't find the original paper at the moment.
Edited to add the correct figure source [not a Nasa report, but] : Lunar and Planetary Science XXXV (2004) MARS EXPLORATION ROVERS: LABORATORY SIMULATIONS OF AEOLIAN INTERACTIONS Lynn D. V. Neakrase, Ronald Greeley, and Daniel Foley Arizona State University, Dept. of Geological Sciences, Box 871404, Tempe, AZ, 85287-1404 PDF link to article Originally pointed by Bruce Moomaw several months ago on the MainlyMartian blog. |
