Abstract
Opinions differ on the nature of near-equatorial troughs and their associated weather. Two research aircraft traversed a South Indian Ocean near-equatorial trough on 2 February 1964. Their detailed observations support earlier, large-scale studies which postulated that trough lines above 5° latitude coincide with maximum sea-surface temperature and relatively fine weather.Keywords
