the area around the equator where trade winds meet is called the doldrums.

trade winds
there are 3 types of wind systems=permanent winds are also known as prevailing winds or planetary winds. it is sub divided in to the trade winds, anti trade winds, and polar winds.periodic winds are also known as seasonal windsor monsoons. they blow from water bodies to land.local winds blow in a limited area and have local significance. it is sub divided in to land and sea breeze , mountain and vally wind
The Doldrums, also known as the Equatorial Convergence Zone. The axis, or a portion of the broad trade wind of the tropics. This axis is the dividing line between the southeast trades and the northeast trades, of the Southern and Northern hemispheres converging around the equator. Within the convergence zone, the average winds are slight and often non existant, unlike the zones north and south of the equator where the trade winds feed in. Early sailors using ships powered by sails named this belt of calm "The Doldrums" because of the inactivity and stagnation they found themselves in after possibly long periods of no wind. Also used as a saying, "The Doldrums" being bored or depressed.

from the south towards the equator
Between 30 and 35 degrees, the area is known as the Horse Latitudes, variable winds but calm
The high solar intensity at equatorial latitudes causes intense heating at the equator, which produces powerful convection currents called Prevailing Winds. The Doldrums are where the prevailing winds at the Equator die.

In the days of sail, ships could find themselves becalmed in the doldrums. The doldrums is a low-pressure area around the equator where the prevailing winds are calm.
This area is just north of the equator and exists all around the planet. It is called the Doldrums.
The Intertropical Coverance Zone. Or to abbreviate, ITCZ.
Winds circulate around an area of high pressure.
