Figure 7.13 Map of the trade wind belts and the doldrums. The limits of the trades - enclosing the area within which 50 per cent of
all winds are from the predominant quadrant - are shown by the solid (January) and the dashed (July) lines. The stippled area is affected
by trade wind currents in both months. Schematic streamlines are indicated by the arrows - dashed (July) and solid (January, or both
months).
