- Summary:
- Using 1979–2003 radiosonde data at Hilo and Lıhue, Hawaii, the trade wind inversion (TWI) base heights are investigated and a diurnal pattern in base height of nighttime high and afternoon low is consistently found during summer at Hilo. Frequency of inversion occurrence was found to be higher during winters and lower during summers of El Nino years than non–El Nino years.
