Doldrums, equatorial regions of light ocean currents and winds within the intertropical convergence zone (ITCZ), a belt of converging winds and rising air encircling Earth near the Equator. The northeast and southeast trade winds meet there; this meeting causes air uplift and often produces.
The Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ / ɪ tʃ / ITCH, or ICZ), known by sailors as the doldrums or the calms because of its monotonous windless weather, is the area where the northeast and the southeast trade winds converge. It encircles Earth near the thermal equator though its specific position varies seasonally.
The "doldrums" is a popular nautical term that refers to the belt around the Earth near the equator where sailing ships sometimes get stuck on windless waters. This NASA satellite image shows the Inter-Tropical Convergence Zone, known to sailors around the world as the doldrums.
31 de dic. de 2015 · Equatorial Low Pressure Belt or ‘Doldrums’ Lies between 10°N and 10°S latitudes. Width may vary between 5°N and 5°S and 20°N and 20°S. This belt happens to be the zone of convergence of trade winds from two hemispheres from sub-tropical high pressure belts. This belt is also called the Doldrums, because of the extremely calm air ...
The doldrums, also known as the Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ), is a belt around the Earth that extends approximately 5 degrees north and south of the equator. It is characterized by calm or light variable winds and thunderstorms.
5 de mar. de 2017 · Upon a painted ocean. The ship was stuck in the doldrums, a zone near the equator with little wind but frequent clouds and storms. Scientists call this region the Intertropical Convergence Zone — the ITCZ. Trade winds from the northern and southern hemispheres converge there.
15 de feb. de 2021 · The equatorial doldrums are associated with the inter-tropical convergence zone (ITCZ) the region that circles the Earth near the equator, where the trade winds of the Northern and Southern Hemispheres converge (Figure 8.33). The doldrums are: • Area of low atmospheric pressure with lots of rain.
