Scientific paper

Haleakala is the site for numerous telescopes, but the amount of published information on summit conditions is small. We seek to rectify that by presenting several years' worth of data on weather (cloud statistics, relative humidity, temperature, wind speed, and wind direction) and seeing conditions. We also examine the dependence of seeing on wind. Our goal is to provide observers with information that will help them better choose the timing of their observations, and to build up a climatological record for the site.
Based in part on data from the Maui Space Surveillance System, which is operated by Detachment 15 of the US Air Force Research Laboratory's Directed Energy Directorate.
