Abstract
The subject of our study is the success of light-trap catch of some insects (Coleoptera, Lepidoptera and Heteroptera) in Relation to the Altitude of the Tropopause. Groups were formed according to the height of the tropopause. The relative catch values of the investigated insects were grouped according to the heights of tropopause every day. Then we summarised, averaged and showed these values. We found a strong positive correlation between all of the investigated species and the altitude of tropopause.

Introduction and Literature BackgroundCitation: Nowinszky L, Puskás J, Kiss M
Different changes can be noticed in the moderate zone air mass circulation, because there is a rise in altitude of the tropopause, and other factors cause changes in the atmosphere [1]
In the presence of very cold air masses from the Arctic it may be five kilometres only, while in the presence of sub-tropical air it may grow to 16 kilometres
Summary
As the changes in tropopause height cause significant changes in the weather in the lower part of atmosphere, we examined the efficiency of light-trap catch in relation with changes in the tropopause altitude. In recent times we published some results about the relation between the efficiency of the light trapping and the height of the tropopause. We published the results with insects: the Heart and Dart (Agrotis exclamationis L.), the Common Cockchafer (Melolontha melolontha L.), the Turnip Moth (Agrotis segetum Den. et Schiff.) and Fall Webworm Moth (Hyphantria cunea Drury) [4,5,6].
