\label{eqn:recovery_bias}  f = \dfrac{A(P_{\rm act}, \Gamma_{\rm act})}{A_{\rm max}} = \left( \dfrac{\Gamma_{\rm act}}{\Gamma_{\rm max}} \right) \sqrt{\dfrac{P_{\rm act} - P_{\rm min}}{P_{\rm max} - P_{\rm min}}} \left( \dfrac{\upsilon}{\upsilon_{\rm max}} \right) \left( \dfrac{\tau}{\tau_{\rm max}} \right).  \end{equation}  {\it A priori}, the The  devil with the deepest profile need not also have the widest profile or the largest velocity. \cite{Renn__2001} argue that the diameter of a vortex is set, in part, by the local vorticity field, while \cite{Balme_2012}, from their field study of dust devils, studies,  find no correlation between diameter and velocity from their field work. However, in quantifying the recovery bias $f$, it's only important that we apply a uniform normalizing factor to the whole population, and the denominator in Equation \ref{eqn:recovery_bias} just provides a convenient expression for that. Any other uniform normalizing (e.g., using average parameters) would suffice.
