Record number: 7, Textual support number: 1 CONT
Horse latitudes, two belts of latitude where winds are light and the weather is hot and dry. They are located mostly over the oceans, at about 30° lat. in each hemisphere, and have a north-south range of about 5° as they follow the seasonal migration of the sun. The horse latitudes are associated with the subtropical anticyclone and the large-scale descent of air from high-altitude currents moving toward the poles. After reaching the earth's surface, this air spreads toward the equator as part of the prevailing trade winds or toward the poles as part of the westerlies. 3, record 7, English, - horse%20latitude
Record number: 7, Textual support number: 1 OBS
The term horse latitudes supposedly originates from the days when Spanish sailing vessels transported horses to the West Indies. Ships would often become becalmed in mid-ocean in this latitude, thus severely prolonging the voyage; the resulting water shortages would make it necessary for crews to throw their horses overboard. 3, record 7, English, - horse%20latitude

À 30° de l'équateur, dans les deux hémisphères, on trouve la zone des calmes tropicaux ou «ceintures subtropicales», qui sont des zones de hautes pressions, où les vents sont faibles et variables. 2, record 7, French, - zone%20des%20calmes%20tropicaux
Record number: 7, Textual support number: 1 OBS
Très caractéristiques sont les hautes pressions qui se localisent au nord du jet sur le Pacifique sud-oriental en avant de l'obstacle andin. On donnait autrefois à ces hautes pressions le nom de horse-latitude, vieux terme hérité de la marine à voile qui rappelait le temps où les vaisseaux restaient parfois immobilisés pendant plusieurs semaines dans les zones des calmes [...], on devait faute d'eau et de nourriture jeter à la mer les chevaux du bord. 5, record 7, French, - zone%20des%20calmes%20tropicaux

Le «Vocabulaire météorologique international» (OMMV) utilise le terme «zone des calmes équatoriaux» pour désigner cette notion. Cependant, selon les sources consultées, la «zone des calmes équatoriaux» est une zone de basses pressions qui se situe approximativement entre le 10° de latitude Nord et 10° de latitude Sud. 6, record 7, French, - zone%20des%20calmes%20tropicaux
