Table 1.

Summary of the cases studied (see text). (Gusts encountered by the insects remain significantly correlated for a time TL. Insects respond to gusts with vertical wind speed exceeding wc by flying with a vertical airspeed wf.)

case TL (s) wc (m s−1) wf (m s−1)
passive (figure 2) 15 0 0
passive advection (figure 2) 15 0.1 0
active, gust compensating (figure 3) 15 0.1 −0.3
active, amplifying (strong response; figure 4) 15 0.1 0.3
active, amplifying (weak response; figure 4) 15 0.3 0.3
