Nevertheless, the decades-long drop in fire frequency and extent in leeward zones has probably allowed fuels to accumulate. We analysed variation in fire frequency by climate, elevation and aspect (windward and leeward of the central massif). In the drier leeward areas, however, fire frequency and extent appear lower than pre-1900 levels. Zones (windward and leeward) were designated in respect to the central massif whose orographic influences result in a marked precipitation gradient. The porosity in-uenced drag and wind speed leeward of the windbreaks drastically. The rugged relief supports marked local variations in rainfall between the windward (east) and leeward (west) sides. Accordingly, the predominantly east-facing sides of each island were designated as windward and the predominantly west-facing sides were designated as leeward. The flow along this axis of symmetry, weaker on the leeward than the windward side in relation to the source position, is in the nature of a thin circular jet. The flow was divided into two different modes, each describing different interactions of the incident shock and transmitted shock on the leeward side of the ellipse. We see at once that the axial velocity is increased outside the pipe and jet in the windward and leeward quadrants and decreased in the lateral quadrants. Its purpose is to accelerate the mass of air so as to increase the distance of the leeward area eddy, which also helps to cool the patios. I would observe that there is a tendency in applying the law as it stands to go steadily to leewards in the matter. From the Hansard archive Example from the Hansard archive.
