Description :
Two years of global and net radiation measurements in Hawaii were used to analyze annual and diurnal radiation patterns between 950 and 3 000 m on a tropical island mountain. This layer includes the usual altitude of a subsidence inversion over the islands. Examples of specific synoptic weather events are given to illustrate the source of variability in the radiation climate and to show associated changes in other climatological variables.
