Damn. That's fascinating. I would have thought the Martian atmosphere was too thin to support whirlwinds.

It also must mean that there must be considerable non-circular wind on Mars, because if there weren't, the planet would be covered with dust devil tracks, like the one in the picture. Something must be sweeping them away on a regular basis.
