the wind direction (the direction of air currents)
Explanation: crossing the equator changes the sign of the Coriolis force, so surface winds/air currents shift from southeast trades in the Southern Hemisphere to northeast trades in the Northern Hemisphere. Air density and large-scale convection near the ITCZ remain similar.
