A characteristic temperature inversion usually present in the trade-wind streams over the eastern portions of the tropical oceans. 3, record 4, English, - trade%2Dwind%20inversion
Record number: 4, Textual support number: 1 OBS
It is formed by broad-scale subsidence of air from high altitudes in the eastern extremities of the subtropical highs. While descending, the current meets the opposition of the low-level maritime air flowing equatorward. The inversion forms at the meeting point of these two strata which flow horizontally in the same direction. 3, record 4, English, - trade%2Dwind%20inversion
