Abstract
⺠We measured the speed dust devils (DDs) move across the ground on Earth. ⺠Long baseline stereo imaging allowed ground motion of >100 DDs to be measured. ⺠Ambient winds were simultaneously obtained using meteorology masts. ⺠Time averaged DD velocity correlates well with mean 10 m height ambient wind velocity. ⺠DDs move 10-20% faster than ambient winds measured at 10 m height.
