🏜️ Haboob Dust Wall: Cold-Pool Gravity Current, Saltation Flux and Town Visibility

Watch a haboob roll over a desert town: a cold outflow gravity current sets the wall speed, wind stress above a threshold launches saltating sand, turbulence lofts dust that settles by Stokes drag, and extinction collapses visibility.

⚙ Under the hood

A cold outflow gravity current drives a dust wall across a desert town: wind stress above a grain-size threshold launches saltating sand, turbulence lofts dust that settles by Stokes drag, and extinction collapses visibility.
