The trade winds blow toward the equator from either side and diminish there to form a doldrum belt with an average width of between 200 and 300 miles. This belt is biased toward the Northern Hemisphere, being located between the equator and 7°N in February and between 5°N and 12°N in July at its greatest breadth. That breadth varies considerably, being widest on the eastern shores of the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans.
