		horse latitudes, two belts of latitude where winds are light and the weather is hot and dry.
		The horse latitudes are associated with the subtropical anticyclone and the large-scale descent of air from high-altitude currents moving toward the poles.
		The belt in the Northern Hemisphere is sometimes called the "calms of Cancer" and that in the Southern Hemisphere the "calms of Capricorn." The term horse latitudes supposedly originates from the days when Spanish sailing vessels transported horses to the West Indies.

		The Horse Latitudes: Along the poleward side of each trade-wind belt, and corresponding approximately with the belt of high pressure in each hemisphere, is another region with weak pressure gradients and correspondingly light, variable winds.
		This moisture condenses as the air cools at higher levels, while in the horse latitudes the air is apparently descending and becoming less humid as it is warmed at lower heights.
		A horse was made out of sacking and straw, and after various junketings on deck, was hanged by the neck at the yardarm and then cut adrift to drop into the sea.

	Fran Brearton reviews 'Horse Latitudes' by Paul Muldoon
		The ‘horse latitudes’, the blurb helpfully tells us, ‘designate an area north and south of the equator in which ships tend to be becalmed, in which stasis if not stagnation is the order of the day, and where sailors traditionally threw horses overboard to conserve food and water’.
		And horses become, inevitably, hobbyhorses – one of Muldoon’s being the urge to squeeze signification dry: so there’s a ‘half-assed attempt to untangle / the ghastly from the price of gasoline’; his former lover is put ‘through her paces’, although she kicks ‘against the traces’.
		Horses thus begin to look rather like Swiftian rational beings, the victims of a bestial and violent human history on display in the sequence of 19 sonnets, ‘Horse Latitudes’, that opens the collection.

		Horse Latitudes was published by Farrar Straus and Giroux and Faber and Faber in October 2006.
		With Muldoon's most recent outings, from Horse Latitudes through the Oxford lectures to General Admission, the Irish poet proves that the middle stretch need not be bad for all poets as he continues to outrun all his contemporaries, never to be reined in.
		Horse Latitudes is, as we would expect, a brilliant performance; it also offers us an unusually direct insight into some of the passions with which this supposedly detached and manipulative poet burns.

	Horse latitudes - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Horse latitudes or Subtropical High are subtropical latitudes between 30 and 35 degrees both north and south, characterized by light winds and hot, dry weather, caused by descending air.
		Supposedly, the term originates from ships traveling to the New World that were often stranded in this region and forced to kill onboard horses in order to preserve precious water supplies, or for their meat and blood, but this may be apocryphal.
		The warm, dry conditions of the horse latitudes also relate to the existence of temperate deserts, such as the Sahara Desert in Africa, the southwestern United States and northern Mexico, and parts of the Middle East in the Northern Hemisphere, and the Chilean-Argentinian-Peruvian desert, the Kalahari Desert, and the Australian Desert in the Southern Hemisphere.

		The air that rises at the equator into the upper troposphere is generally moving poleward (because of the Coriolis Effect, this upper tropospheric air is moving from the SE to the NE) just the opposite of the cool air that is moving in toward the equator at the surface.
		Not all of the air that sinks at the horse latitudes moves toward the equator.
		These westerly winds of the middle latitudes are stronger in the Southern Hemisphere where they blow mainly over open ocean and are less impeded by friction with the ground as in the Northern Hemisphere.

		Drawing on his background in physics, and his obvious delight in the process of discovery, Greenler presents the ideas one by one before joining them together as building blocks to comprehend phenomena in the field of meteorology.
		"The Prevailing Westerlies, the Horse Latitudes, and the Doldrums: Global Air Circulation" conveys a sense of both the excitement and the immediacy of science.

		This information, the sort of thing Muldoon is happy to tell an audience at a reading, is useful to the reader on the page, because these battles-beginning-with-B, in which horses or mules played a major role, are not all going to be very familiar (at least, they weren't to me).

		I was reminded of the region of windless ocean known as the Horse Latitudes, called that in remembrance of the Spanish galleons that would sometimes find themselves adrift in those dead waters.
		Sometimes the Horse Latitudes were carpeted for miles with a floating rictus of palominos and Arab stallions, buoyed up by the immense floating kelp beds and their own churning internal gases.

	Missoulian - March means it's time to shake the Horse Latitudes
		In case you're interested, Horse Latitudes is the name given to those belts of latitude where climactic forces create calm, hot weather over stretches of ocean.
		The name came about because Spanish sailing vessels transporting horses to the West Indies would apparently find themselves becalmed for long periods at those particular latitudes, and if things went on too long, and fresh water ran out, they would have to throw the horses overboard to save the crews.
		And I'm sitting here musing about the Horse Latitudes and allowing myself to brood a little about the not-so-rosy implications of this dry, warm winter for the long, hot months ahead.

		Without hyperbole I can say that Drunk Horse is one of the Bay Area's best bands right now, and certainly one of the best bands ever to come out of Oakland.
		The band formed in 1998, with songwriter Eli Eckert on guitar and vocals, "Cripe" on drums, John Niles on guitar, and Cyrus Comiskey on bass.
		So Drunk Horse has been unfairly pigeonholed into the neoclassic rock camp, with reviewers also comparing it to Ted Nugent, of all things.
