  Drifting sand

  Drifting sand (seen at 1 and 2) is defined as sand raised by the wind to a small height above the ground. The motion of the particles of sand is more or less parallel to the ground. Note that while objects on the ground may be veiled or hidden by the moving sand, the horizontal visibility is not sensibly diminished at eye level (1.8 m above the ground).
