northeast trade winds Explanation: Suggestion: s ventos alísios que alcançam as costas leste e nordeste do Brasil procedem de duas direções principais: E-SE (alísios sensu stricto) e NE (alísios de retorno). http://www.log.furg.br/WEBens/descobri/clima.htm Because winds are named for the direction from which the wind is blowing,[15] these winds are called the northeast trade winds in the Northern Hemisphere and the southeast trade winds in the Southern Hemisphere. The trade winds meet at the doldrums.[8] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trade_wind |
