doldrums"(Also called equatorial calms.) A nautical term for the equatorial trough, with special reference to the light and variable nature of the winds. Compare horse latitudes; see equatorial air.
doldrums: area near equator that experiences low pressures and light shifting winds.
DOLDRUMS Located between 30 degrees North and 30 degrees South latitudes in the vicinity of the equator, this area typically has calm or light and variable winds. Also a nautical term for the equatorial trough.
Doldrums- the regions on either side of the equator where air pressure is low and winds are light.
