CARLIS* Howard University Program in Atmospheric Sciences, Washington, D.C., and Honolulu Weather Forecast Office, National Weather Service, Honolulu, Hawaii YI-LENG CHEN Department of Meteorology, University of Hawaii at Manoa, Honolulu, Hawaii VERNON R. MORRIS Howard University Program in Atmospheric Sciences, Howard University, Washington, D.C. (Manuscript received 22 September 2009, in final form 14 January 2010) ABSTRACT The fifth-generation Pennsylvania State University–NCAR Mesoscale Model (MM5) coupled with the Noah land surface model (LSM) is employed to simulate island-scale airflow and circulations over Maui County, Hawaii, under summer trade wind conditions, during July–August 2005. The model forecasts are validated by surface observations with good agreement. In this study, it is shown that a previously known closed circulation over the Central Valley of Maui, or the Maui vortex, represents the northern cyclonic vortex of the dual-counter-rotating vortices in the lee of Haleakala, which extend up to the base of the trade wind inversion with a westerly reversed flow (.2ms21). At low levels, the northern cyclonic vortex is more pronounced than the southern anticyclonic vortex. The asymmetric structure of the dual vortices is related to the shape of Haleakala and the flow deflection by the West Maui Mountains. The Maui vortex has a relatively narrow east–west extent in the lowest levels, espe- cially at night, due to the deflected strong northerly/northeasterly winds from the windward foothills of the West Maui Mountains.

    Island Studies Journal , Vol. 4, No. 2, 2009, pp. 183-202 At the Intersection of Resident, Research and Recreation Stakeholder Interests: East Maui, Hawai‘i, as a Sustainable Tourism Destination John Cusick University of Hawai‘i at Manoa Oahu, Hawai‘i, USA [email protected] Abstract: The experiences of contemporary protected areas indicate adaptations to challenges brought about by resource management strategies. Resident communities, protected area management, and the tourism industry stakeholders demonstrate that evolving relationships are complex webs of competing and cooperating interests. The geographic isolation of East Maui delayed the cultural disruption of traditional practices and is an area where residents simultaneously resist assimilation and re-create cultural landscapes to offer visitors a glimpse into the past and a view of an emerging future associated with the renaissance of Native Hawaiian identity. Partnerships have brought about and nurtured the perpetuation of culture and the conservation of biodiversity as stakeholders recognize shared benefits. Among the outcomes are that residents have reconstituted the identity of East Maui as a Hawaiian place with benefits to various stakeholders, including a network of protected areas. A sustainability framework suggests a reappraisal of how to nurture, not alter, East Maui’s identity. Keywords : community based tourism, cultural kipuka, golf course development, Hana, Hawai‘i, islandness, Maui, protected areas, stakeholders, sustainability framework © 2009 – Institute of Island Studies, University of Prince Edward Island, Canada. Introduction The combination of biological diversity and cultural heritage is routinely cited as being conducive to the development of ecotourism activities (Honey, 1999; Stronza & Durham, 2008). An increase and expansion of tourism development associated with protected areas facilitate the convergence of stakeholder interests and raise issues related to resident place, research field site, and tourist destination (Howe et al ., 1997; Terborgh et al ., 2002).

  • ' Hawaiian Volcanoes . During 1950
    ' Hawaiian Volcanoes . During 1950 GEOLOGICAL SURVEY BULLETIN 996-B A CONTRIBUTION TO GENERAL GEOLOGY HAWAIIAN VOLCANOES DURING 1950 By R. H. FINCH and GORDON A. MACDONALD ABSTRACT The activities of the Hawaiian Volcano Observatory during the calendar year 1950 are briefly described. Statistics on local and distant earthquakes recorded during the year, tilting of the ground surface, crack measurements, monthly rainfall statistics, and temperature measurements are presented and briefly dis­ cussed. Occurrences of warm water at several localities on the rift zones of Kilauea volcano are described. The warm water apparently results from heating of ground water by either contact with hot intrusive rock or rising hot gases. An eruption of Mauna Loa began on the evening of June 1, and continued until June 23. Fissures opened along the southwest rift zone of Mauna Loa for a distance of more than 12 miles. At 9:04 p. in. a fissure 1.5 miles long opened between 11,000 and 12,000 feet altitude. Floods of very liquid lava poured out, and a cloud of fume rose two .miles in the air, brightly illuminated by the red glare of the liquid lava beneath. This activity lasted only about four hours. At 10:15 p. in. a new series of fissures started to open lower on the rift, .between 8,500 and 10,500 feet altitude. Activity along the upper portion of the lower group of fissures lasted about a week, but the*lower portion remained active for more than three weeks. A total of seven large lava flows poured out, both south­ eastward and westward.
