The JPL team is analyzing seven years of pressure data taken by microbarometers at the Nevada Nuclear Security Site in the Mojave Desert, searching for the telltale signatures of dust devils: drops in pressure in the center of the vortices that fluctuate like an electrocardiogram signal. With so much information to sift through, the team has developed an automated detection algorithm to identify the relevant data.
"The hope is that with our dust devil detector we will be able to learn more about the formation characteristics of convective vortices and how they move across various landscapes," Urtecho said.
