In zones of low atmospheric pressure, located at 0 degrees and 60 degrees N and S, low-density air rises. These zones are significant for sailors because the wind movement is unsteady and unreliable. The zone of low atmospheric pressure at the equator is known as the doldrums, and is infamous for stranding sailing ships for extended periods without winds to move them.
