Les alizés se manifestent, en direction de l'équateur, à partir des hautes pressions subtropicales qui jalonnent le 30e parallèle sur les deux hémisphères : alizés boréaux, de direction N.-E - S.-O., et alizés austraux, S.-E. - N.-O. Le contact des alizés boréaux et austraux aboutit à l'ascendance dynamique, favorisée par l'instabilité de l'air chaud et humide, et constitue la convergence intertropicale. 1, record 1, French, - aliz%C3%A9%20austral
