摘要

We report in situ measurements and field observations of dust devils at similar to 3800- 4200 m elevation in the Argentine desert plateau ( Puna). These first quantitative data at elevations where the ambient atmospheric pressure is only similar to 600-700 mbar support the notion that large and strong dust devils may be systematically more common in low-pressure conditions, although regional meteorology and/or surface thermophysical properties may also contribute.
