Definition of trade winds in English English dictionary: plural form of trade wind; 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; a steady wind system, occupying most of the tropics, which are northeasterly in the northern hemisphere and southeasterly in the southern hemisphere; 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; 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; 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; 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; Persistent tropical winds that blow from the subtropical high pressure centers towards the equatorial low; Global-scale winds in the tropics that blow generally toward the west in both hemispheres; 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; 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; The air masses moving from subtropical high-pressure belts toward the equator; south-easterly in the Southern Hemisphere; 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 ); 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; the conspicuously reliable winds blowing obliquely in the low troposphere from a subtropical high to the intertropical convergence zone; 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
