Scientific paper

We report direct measurements of the winds within Martian dust devils from HiRISE imagery. The central color swath of the HiRISE instrument observes the surface by using separate CCDs and color filters in rapid cadence. Active features, such as a dust devil, appear in motion when serendipitously captured by this region of the instrument. Our measurements reveal clear circulation within the vortices, and that the majority of overall wind magnitude within a dust devil is between 10 and 30 m s-1.
