उत्तर

Equatorial region

Explanation:

The region called Doldrums is the Equatorial region, also known as the Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ). It is characterized by calm winds or light surface winds because warm air rises vertically here, causing low pressure and very little horizontal wind. Despite the calm surface winds, this area often experiences heavy rains and thunderstorms. The name “Doldrums” refers to the “dull” or calm conditions experienced in this zone.
