The horse latitudes are zones of windless, hot, and dry air that exist between 25° N and 25° S latitude. The name "horse latitudes" is said to have originated from the practice of sailors throwing overboard horses that had died from dehydration during voyages across these regions. Hadley cells are a global atmospheric circulation pattern that produces the trade winds in the tropics, while the doldrums are areas near the equator where converging trade winds produce calm, windless conditions. Westerlies refer to the prevailing winds that blow from west to east in the mid-latitudes.
