- Summary:
- Interaction of sea breeze and trade wind provides four types of cloud patterns and corresponding rainfall and temperature patterns: the sea breeze front off Lanai and Molokai, the Maui type circulation cell, The Mauna Kea type land-wind front, and the Kona sea breeze. The interaction types are determined primarily by the height and size of mountain barriers.
