A characteristic temperature inversion usually present in the trade-wind streams over the eastern portions of the tropical oceans. 3, record 2, English, - trade%2Dwind%20inversion
Record number: 2, 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 2, English, - trade%2Dwind%20inversion

L'inversion des alizés se produit sur la face équatoriale des anticyclones subtropicaux. Cette inversion de subsidence quasi permanente constitue la limite supérieure du domaine vertical des alizés. 3, record 2, French, - inversion%20des%20aliz%C3%A9s

Las mayores características en el desarrollo de la fase en referencia se relacionan con el reforzamiento de las surgencias en el Pacífico ecuatorial, los aumentos positivos del índice de oscilación austral, el enfriamiento de las aguas del Pacífico oriental, el debilitamiento o la inversión de los alisios, el movimiento hacia el oriente de la zona de convección de los alisios y de la zona de mayor pluviometría, la disminución de la corriente subsuperficial ecuatorial, el bloqueamiento de la CIT, la generación de ondas Kelvin(los vientos occidentales producen corrientes superficiales que se desplazan al oriente) y la disminución de la lluvia en el Pacífco occidental. 3, record 2, Spanish, - inversi%C3%B3n%20de%20los%20alisios
