ROARING FORTIES

This article appears in Volume V23, Page 395 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: RHY-RON
ROARING FORTIES , the name given to the
zone
  in the southern hemisphere, near the 4oth parallel of
latitude
 , in which the
north
 -westerly "
anti
 -
trade
  " winds attain their greatest development. Since the
belt
  lies in the
Great
  Southern Ocean (q.v.), and is little interrupted by
land
 , the " planetary circulation " undergoes little modification and barometric gradients are steep. The " brave west winds " are accordingly of
great
  strength, and, as in the corresponding
belt
  of the northern hemisphere, the
movement
  is largely broken up into the low and high pressure vortices known as cyclones and anticyclones.
