Trade Winds

Blowing from the subtropical highs or horse latitudes toward the low pressure of the ITCZ are the trade winds. Named
from their ability to quickly propel trading ships across the ocean, the trade winds between about 30° latitude and
the equator are steady and blow about 11 to 13 miles per hour. In the Northern Hemisphere, the trade winds blow from
the northeast and are known as the Northeast Trade Winds; in the Southern Hemisphere, the winds blow from the
southeast and are called the Southeast Trade Winds.

Nihal,
As the earth revolves the air at the equator gets dragged around at ground level due to friction... this sets up diagonal flow patterns as the air is dragged fastest at the Equator... the seas and land masses heat the air at the equator causing air to rise creating lower pressure at the surface which then draws in air from the Tropics to balance the pressure... this air movement is from the NE in the northern hemisphere and from the SE in the southern hemisphere... they're called trade winds because the merchant sailing ships used the winds to get around the world sailing round the Cape of Good Hope to the Far East from Europe in the 15/16th centuries to trade with each other. The only place where there isn't significant air movement is at the Equator where the air is rising up -that's why the equatorial seas have the Doldrums... pockets of still air which becalmed sailing ships for weeks on end... Is this the stuff you meant?

Beats doodling on fag packets...
