This word was quite new to me, but I wonder if the "shed" could refer not to shade but to the idea of "parting" or separating. In Scotland the hair parting is still sometimes called a shed, with the verb "to shed". The same idea is in "watershed".
So an airshed might be where two areas of air separate.
Tentative thoughts.
