Are Martian dust devils really larger than Earth's? What is the dust injection rate into the atmosphere? These important questions cannot be answered without a rigorous discussion of the observed size population, and consideration of the size-dependent efficiency of detection of the relevant observations. There is some evidence in both optical diameters, and in-situ meteorological measurements, that Martian dust devils follow a power-law diameter distribution. Remarkably, terrestrial data is often too poorlybinned to permit meaningful comparison with Mars. Requirements for future field data are identified: better-determined diameter measurements, and statistically-significant populations of unbiased insitu measurements from fixed stations or arrays.
