Dust devils have been proposed as a tool to investigate martian near-ground wind conditions. However, further studies are needed in order to fully understand how background atmospheric conditions affect dust devil forward motion. One of the main issues is related to the lack of synchronous acquisition of the dust devils forward speed and ambient w…
