Directions of the prevailing wind in winter and the maximum snow depths were estimated in terms of the deformation of coniferous trees in the summit area of Mts. Hachi- mantai, which occupy the drainage divide between Iwate and Akita Prefectures.
As a result it is estimated that the prevailing wind in winter is comparatively strong in the area with altitude 1200-1400 m a. s. 1., and its directions are mainly West adding South-components in many places. These South-components are considered to be resulted from the shifts of wind direction' caused by the topographical effect of the WNW-ESE running mountain body to wind directions.
Maximum snow depths are estimated to be 4-5 m in the whole survey area.
