French term or phrase: trains de dépression
Les voiliers d'aujourd'hui ont amélioré leur angle de chavirage, résistent mieux aux entrées d'eau, ne subissent plus de ruptures structurelles, savent affronter les pires conditions, et leurs performances leur permettent mieux qu'hier de se faufiler entre les trains de dépression...

Not being a specialist in meteorology, would anyone know the correct term for this?

Thanks
