I don't think that you realy need added details. Here are some that I 
can think of:

A mirage effect. Put a transparent plane with an ior less than 1, around 
0.8 to 0.9 and a slight normal perturbation. Maybe some reflection like: 
reflection{1, 0}

For a swirl, use some scattering media in a narrow container that 
approximately follows the ground.
To be kept subtil.
