First quantitative characterization of the Martian dust devil dimensions determined from InSight data

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

In a pioneer study, the dimensions height H and width D of Martian dust devils are determined considering a simple model, in which the principal contribution to the magnetic field generated by a dust devil, comes from the swirling motion of their negatively charged lighter particles. Finally, a linear relation between H/D and the pressure drop associate to the dust devils is found. This relationship is a new and very conspicuous result determined in the present study. The reliability of this result should be assured revisiting this work with the data provided by future missions, as the Exobiology on Mars (ExoMars) project, when these data sets be available.
