Trade winds have been used by captains of sailing ships to cross the world's oceans for centuries. They enabled European colonization of the Americas, and trade routes to become established across the Atlantic Ocean and the Pacific Ocean.
Known to sailors around the world, the trade winds and associated ocean currents helped early sailing ships from European and African ports make their journeys to the Americas. Likewise, the trade winds also drive sailing vessels from the Americas toward Asia.
4 ημέρες πριν · The trade winds of the Pacific represent the eastern and equatorial parts of the air circulation system; they originate in the subtropical high-pressure zones that are most pronounced over the northeast and southeast Pacific between latitudes 30° and 40° N and S, respectively.
13 Μαρ 2019 · The recent intensification of trade winds over the tropical Pacific is the strongest ever observed in the past hundred years. This strengthening trend is of great interest in recent research, but the causes are still unclear.
12 Απρ 2022 · The enhanced trade winds affect the exchange of energy and momentum between air and sea in tropical Pacific, which may further affect the climate. However, its specific impact mechanism and physical process need further research by model simulations in the future.
16 Οκτ 2017 · Abstract. Interannual to decadal variability in the Pacific Ocean is a prominent feature of Earth’s climate system, with global teleconnections. Recent studies have identified Pacific decadal variability as a major driver of periods of rapid and slower global mean surface air temperature change.
9 Φεβ 2014 · Nature Climate Change - The slowdown in global average surface warming has recently been linked to sea surface cooling in the eastern Pacific Ocean. This work shows that strengthening trade...
