“…A similar condition, but on a much larger scale, was noted on the upper leeward slope behind the Koolau Range (Noguchi 1979), suggesting that this unique situation behind a ridge might be a widespread phenomenon prevailing on different scales under the trade-wind regime in ocean islands such as Hawaii. A similar wind pattern and separation which would affect the plant environment on the upper leeward slope were also reported in valley wind observations elsewhere (Yoshino 1957;Rutter 1968;Noguchi 1975).…”

Abstract. Hydrometeorological observations over a 15‐month period and the evaluation of calculated water balance components across a selected valley in the northeast trade‐wind environment in Hawaii showed the following: A large reduction in wind speed and evaporation occurred on the upper protected west‐facing slope as compared with an exposed ridge immediately in front of it and within a short horizontal distance. Can evaporation values measured across the valley closely reflect the wind exposure and the availability of energy at each station. In terms of Penman potential evapotranspiration, the ridge station was again found to be the most exposed and the upper leeward slope the most protected. The upper protected west‐facing slope was comparatively more favourable for vegetation development in terms of the annual soil moisture conditions (both measured and calculated) and protection against mechanical damage by wind and air‐borne salt; all the other parts of the slopes were exposed and occasionally received severe salt spray damage in winter. Most probably, these factors have contributed to the difference in speed of vegetation recovery from the disturbance, thus producing a, temporary, vegetation asymmetry.
