Sailors noticed the stillness of the rising (and not blowing) air near the equator and gave the region the depressing name "doldrums." The doldrums, usually located between 5° north and 5° south of the equator, are also known as the Intertropical Convergence Zone or ITCZ for short.

The Horse Latitudes are said to be named as such because when sailing . The global circulation can be described as the world-wide system of winds by which the necessary transport of heat from tropical to polar latitudes is accomplished. At the most fundamental level, the global winds are set
Areas near the equator lie in a low pressure zone (remember the ITCZ from the Global Pressure section above?) air in the Hadley cell along the equator produces deep clouds, thunderstorms,
Difficulty Level. What are the global winds? Review Questions. Many daily weather patterns depend on wind. Note that sinking air is associated with the subtropical high pressure belt so this is a region on the earth where skies are clear (Tucson is located at 32 N latitude, so we are strongly affected by the subtropical high pressure belt). Wind direction is determined by the direction from which it originates. Wind is the natural movement of air or other gases relative to a planet's surface. Trade winds, westerlies and easterlies are different types of primary wind. Wind carries heat, moisture, pollutants, and pollen to new areas. image of Earth. Trade Wind Belt North and south of the doldrums are the trade wind belts, covering the roughly the zones lying between 5o and 30o north and south. Doldrums . Hadley's picture was quite realistic as concerns the trades and the doldrums. For example, a northerly wind . At the polar front, air rises, producing cloudy skies in a band of bad
The air that flows north becomes part of another cell of circulation between 30 . The ocean conveyor belt circulates ocean water around the entire planet. The PGF sets air
So the winds from subtropical region blow towards the Equator as Trade winds and another wind blow towards Sub-Polar Low-Pressure as Westerlies. transport heat poleward, and return cool water back to the tropics. Global winds or Planetary winds are large body air masses created mainly as a result of the earths rotation, the shape of the earth and the suns heating power.Global winds are caused by the combination of pressure belts and the Coriolis effect. Because Earth rotates, winds appear to be moving east in the Coriolis effect. of the global winds. The diagram above shows two idealized views of air motion, the vertical
The highest average wind speed, in fact, occurs
The global wind pattern is also known as the "general circulation" and the surface winds of each hemisphere are divided into three wind belts: Polar Easterlies: From 60-90 degrees latitude. and polar Highs. The illustration below portrays the global wind belts, three in each hemisphere. Now do the same for the southern hemisphere. It is the horizontal movement of air from an area of high pressure to an area of lower pressure. for the same reason easterly trade winds prevail in the tropics. the doldrums. Average location of doldrums is 5°N and 5°S from the equator and this belt lies between two trade winds. Found inside – Page 2372The distribution of solar energy over space and time results in the formation of the global wind belts. These roughly latitudinal wind patterns in turn produce the ocean currents that determine the circulation patterns of the upper ... redistributes heat from areas of surplus to areas of deficit. Also indicate by name each global wind belt on the world maps on page 2. These large circulation
