Summary:
In 1966 and 1967, measurements were taken along the east slopes of Mauna Loa, Hawaii, to determine whether the normally present trade wind inversion reaches the mountain and if its properties are similar to those over the ocean. The results show that the trade wind inversion has influences along the east mountain slopes similar to those over the ocean.
