Explanation
स्पष्टीकरण:
डोलड्रम (Doldrums): भूमध्य रेखा के दोनों ओर लगभग 5° उत्तर से 5° दक्षिण अक्षांशों के मध्य स्थित शांत और न्यून वायुदाब वाले क्षेत्र को 'डोलड्रम' कहा जाता है।
इस क्षेत्र को 'विषुवतीय शांत पेटी' भी कहते हैं क्योंकि यहाँ सूर्य की किरणें वर्षभर लंबवत पड़ती हैं, जिसके कारण हवा गर्म होकर ऊपर उठती है और यहाँ क्षैतिज पवनों का अभाव होता है।
