\item The uncertainties on the profile depth and width estimated for a dust devil are negligible.  \item Dust devils all have the same lifetimes. \cite{Lorenz_2013} suggested a dependence of dust devil lifetime on diameter, $D$ as $D^0.66$. $D^{0.66}$.  In principle, this effect probably skews the distribution of observed dust devils toward larger ones. However, for single-barometer surveys, the encounter geometry plays the dominant role in setting the observed distribution, and as a first cut, we neglect the difference in dust devil lifetimes in this study. \end{enumerate}
