The correlations between wind velocity and suction trap catches of mosquitoes when taken at 15-min intervals during the night were studied at 2 locations. Although normal mosquito flight speeds are approximately 1 m/sec, trap catches were reduced about 50% by winds of 0.5 m/sec and 75% at 1.0 m/sec. Trap catches were inversely related to winds of all velocities and even the lightest winds reduced trap catches. No evidence was found for a threshold below which wind velocity had no effect.
在两个地点研究了夜间每隔15分钟测量一次的风速与捕蚊器捕获蚊子数量之间的相关性。尽管蚊子正常飞行速度约为1米/秒，但风速为0.5米/秒时，捕蚊器捕获量减少约50%，风速为1.0米/秒时减少75%。捕蚊器捕获量与所有风速呈负相关，即使是最微风也会减少捕蚊器捕获量。未发现存在风速低于此值就没有影响的阈值证据。
