Desert Sandstorm (2D)

A side-on cross-section of a sandstorm: wind carries thousands of grains over a dune profile while extinction from suspended sand attenuates visibility along a Koschmieder-style law. Wind speed, particle density and turbulence intensity all change the visible storm and the computed visibility distance below.
