Outflow boundary a downburst. "Gustnadoes", short-lived vertical circulations near ground level, can be spawned by outflow boundaries. Gust fronts create low-level wind shear which can be hazardous to planes when they takeoff or land. Flying insects are swept along by the prevailing winds. As such, fine line patterns within weather radar imagery, associated with converging winds, are dominated by insect returns. At the surface, clouds of dust can be raised by outflow boundaries. If squall lines form over arid regions, a duststorm known as a haboob can result from the high winds picking up dust in their wake from the desert floor.
Desert tree frog Desert tree frog The desert tree frog or little red tree frog ("Litoria rubella") is a tree frog native to Australia, southern New Guinea, and Timor (East Timor and Indonesia). It is one of Australia's most widely distributed frogs, inhabiting northern Australia, including desert regions and much of temperate eastern Australia. It is one of the few Australian tree frogs to inhabit arid, tropical, and temperate climates. It is rotund, with a small, flat head. It has short arms and strong, short legs. Adults are 28–43 mm in snout-vent length. Its ventral surface is white, and the dorsal surface ranges
