A characteristic temperature inversion usually present in the trade-wind streams over the eastern portions of the tropical oceans. 3, record 1, English, - trade%2Dwind%20inversion
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 OBS
It is formed by broad-scale subsidence of air from high altitudes in the eastern extremities of the subtropical highs. While descending, the current meets the opposition of the low-level maritime air flowing equatorward. The inversion forms at the meeting point of these two strata which flow horizontally in the same direction. 3, record 1, English, - trade%2Dwind%20inversion

Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 CONT
L'inversion des alizés se produit sur la face équatoriale des anticyclones subtropicaux. Cette inversion de subsidence quasi permanente constitue la limite supérieure du domaine vertical des alizés. 3, record 1, French, - inversion%20des%20aliz%C3%A9s
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 OBS
L'inversion sépare l'air humide de l'alizé situé au-dessous, de l'air chaud et très sec situé au-dessus. 2, record 1, French, - inversion%20des%20aliz%C3%A9s

Inversión de la temperatura en el cinturón de los alisios producida por subsidencia del aire desde los altos niveles; la inversión separa el aire húmedo de los alisios que está debajo, del aire cálido y muy seco que está encima. 2, record 1, Spanish, - inversi%C3%B3n%20de%20los%20alisios

Las mayores características en el desarrollo de la fase en referencia se relacionan con el reforzamiento de las surgencias en el Pacífico ecuatorial, los aumentos positivos del índice de oscilación austral, el enfriamiento de las aguas del Pacífico oriental, el debilitamiento o la inversión de los alisios, el movimiento hacia el oriente de la zona de convección de los alisios y de la zona de mayor pluviometría, la disminución de la corriente subsuperficial ecuatorial, el bloqueamiento de la CIT, la generación de ondas Kelvin (los vientos occidentales producen corrientes superficiales que se desplazan al oriente) y la disminución de la lluvia en el Pacífco occidental. 3, record 1, Spanish, - inversi%C3%B3n%20de%20los%20alisios

La continuité entre l'air alizéen de l'hémisphère d'hiver avec l'air chaud de mousson, très engagé dans l'hémisphère d'été, n'est sans doute pas absolue. La convergence intertropicale se trouve reportée, dans les situations de mousson, loin des régions équatoriales. 2, record 2, French, - air%20de%20l%27aliz%C3%A9
