Lee waves and the start of a Martian dust storm east of #LyotCrater as imaged by #HopeMarsMission . This is a speeded up version of the supplemental movie in this paper:

@andrealuck Have you seen there's a fresh #HopeMarsMission paper focussing on dust storms? Unfortunately paywalled, but the so-called "Open Research" tab has data references that are maybe helpful for the processing you do with their stuff

Guha et al : "Seasonal and Diurnal Variations of Dust Storms in Martian Year 36 Based on the EMM-EXI Database"
