نویسندگان
چکیده
Applications of atmospheric science are relevant to a range of themes within science and society; application to entomology is the main focus of this meeting. The talks are designed to appeal to the broader scientific community by showcasing areas of science that encompass both disciplines. The audience will hear about exciting topics within weather and climate change, how they are applied to entomological science, and how insects can be used to advance atmospheric science.

Evaluation of Time Series Patterns for Wind Speed Volatilities in Anzali Meteorological Station
Abstract. One of the major problems in using wind energy is that wind-generated electricity is more unstable than electricity generated by other sources, and therefore integrating wind energy use with traditional power generation systems can be a challenge. This problem can be effectively reduced by having accurate information about the mean and wind speed volatilities. Therefore, in this paper...
متن کاملDevelopment of a mathematical model to design an offshore wind and wave hybrid energy system
Fossil Fuels are always considered as environmental pollutants. On the other hand, the political and economic situations highly affect the price of these fuels. Offshore wind and wave, as renewable energy sources, represent the better alternatives for electricity generation. Therefore, it is necessary that wind speeds effectively be estimated due to the absence of field measurements of the wind...
متن کاملUsing Wind Data to Predict the Risk of Volcanic Eruption: An Example from Damavand Volcano, Iran
Damavand volcano is located 60 km to the East North- East of Tehran. It is a dormant stratovolcano outcrop in the Alborz Mountains of northern Iran and is the highest mountain (5670 m) in the Middle East and West Asia. Mazandaran Province, one of the most populous provinces by population density, Semnan and Gorgan provinces further east are neighbours of the Damavand. Volcanism in Damavand goes...
متن کاملOrientation Cues for High-Flying Nocturnal Insect Migrants: Do Turbulence-Induced Temperature and Velocity Fluctuations Indicate the Mean Wind Flow?
Migratory insects flying at high altitude at night often show a degree of common alignment, sometimes with quite small angular dispersions around the mean. The observed orientation directions are often close to the downwind direction and this would seemingly be adaptive in that large insects could add their self-propelled speed to the wind speed, thus maximising their displacement in a given ti...
متن کاملUsing Insects\' Body Powder as a Complementary Growth Factor in Fungal Culture Media
Introduction: Nutritional requirements of fungi are essential for their successful growth in laboratories. Some fungi feed on the compounds present in the insects' bodies. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of insects' body powder (IBP) as a supplement for the fungi growth in culture media. Methods: We used 10 mg of IBP, obtained from Anopheles superpictus and Culex theileri mosqu...
