Definition of trade wind in English English dictionary: A steady wind that blows from east to west above and below the equator
They rode the trade winds going west.; steady winds blowing from east to west above and below the equator; "they rode the trade winds going west; An extremely consistent system of winds occupying most of the tropics, constituting the major component of the general circulation of the atmosphere, blowing northeasterly in the Northern Hemisphere and southeasterly in the Southern Hemisphere; Easterly tropical wind (north-easterly or south-easterly); tropical wind blowing steadily from east to west; Northeast and southeast winds in the Atlantic blowing continually toward the equator Named after the traditional trading ships, which sailed a course using these winds to their advantage; Any of a consistent system of prevailing winds occupying most of the tropics, constituting the major component of the general circulation of the atmosphere, and blowing northeasterly in the Northern Hemisphere and southeasterly in the Southern Hemisphere. Often used in the plural. a tropical wind that blows towards the equator from either the northeast or the southeast (trade (14-17 centuries); TRADE); Winds in certain areas known for their consistent strength and direction Trade winds are named because of their reliability, allowing for planned voyages along the routes favored by those winds; steady winds blowing from east to west above and below the equator; "they rode the trade winds going west"
trade winds: plural form of trade wind
trade-wind: Alternative form of trade wind
tradewind: {n} a wind which blows the whole year from the same point or a periodical wind a moonsoon
trade winds: Winds blowing towards low pressure regions at the equator They blew the large sailing ships which developed the trading links between Europe and the New World
trade winds: a steady wind system, occupying most of the tropics, which are northeasterly in the northern hemisphere and southeasterly in the southern hemisphere
trade winds: Surface winds that generally dominate air flow in the tropics These winds blow from about 30 degrees north and south latitude to the equator Trade winds in the Northern Hemisphere have a westerly direction and are referred to as the Northeast Trades Southern Hemisphere trade winds also have a westerly direction but are called the Southeast Trades
trade winds: Surface air from the horse latitudes that moves back toward the equator and is deflected by the Coriolis Force, causing the winds to blow from the Northeast in the Northern Hemisphere and from the Southeast in the Southern Hemisphere These steady winds are called trade winds because they provided trade ships with an ocean route to the New World See wind
trade winds: any of the nearly constant easterly winds that dominate most of the tropics and subtropics, blowing mainly from the northeast in the Northern Hemisphere and from the southeast in the Southern Hemisphere
trade winds: Two belts of prevailing winds that blow easterly from the subtropical high pressure centers towards the equatorial trough Primarily lower level winds, they are characterized by their great consistency of direction In the Northern Hemisphere, the trades blow from the northeast, and in the Southern Hemisphere, the trades blow from the southeast
trade winds: Persistent tropical winds that blow from the subtropical high pressure centers towards the equatorial low
trade winds: Global-scale winds in the tropics that blow generally toward the west in both hemispheres
trade winds: steady regular winds that blow in a belt approximately 30 N and 30 S of the equator In the North Atlantic the trades blow consistently all year round, from the north-east; in the South Atlantic they blow from the south-east, converging just north of the equator The meeting of the trade winds just north of the equator created the infamous 'doldrums', where sailing ships could be becalmed for days or weeks waiting for a wind to carry them back into the trades They were known as trade winds because of their regularity, thereby assisting sailing vessels in reaching their markets to carry out trade
trade winds: are global-scale winds in the tropics that blow generally toward to west in both hemispheres (from the Northeast in the Northern Hemisphere and from the southeast in the Southern Hemisphere) These steady winds are called trade winds because they provided trade ships with a sailing route to the "New World," America
trade winds: The air masses moving from subtropical high-pressure belts toward the equator; south-easterly in the Southern Hemisphere
trade winds: Winds that trade or tread in one uniform track In the northern hemisphere they blow from the north-east, and in the southern hemisphere from the south-east, about thirty degrees each side of the equator In some places they blow six months in one direction, and six in the opposite It is a mistake to derive the word from trade (commerce), under the notion that they are “good for trade ” (Anglo Saxon, tredde-wind, a treading wind- i e wind of a specific “beat” or tread; tredan, to tread )
trade winds: Any of a consistent system of prevailing winds occupying most of the tropics, constituting the major component of the general circulation of the atmosphere, and blowing northeasterly in the Northern Hemisphere and southeasterly in the Southern Hemisphere
trade winds: the conspicuously reliable winds blowing obliquely in the low troposphere from a subtropical high to the intertropical convergence zone
trade winds: a system of relatively constant low level winds that occur in the tropics The trade winds blow from the northeast to the equator in the Northern Hemisphere and from the southeast to the equator in the Southern Hemisphere
