An area of high pressure generally associated with light winds clear skies and settled weather.
A region of high atmospheric pressure around which winds move in a clockwise direction in the northern hemisphere. Generally associated with warm and dry weather.
(high-pressure area) An atmospheric high-pressure closed circulation with clockwise rotation in the Northern Hemisphere, counterclockwise in the Southern Hemisphere, and undefined at the Equator.
Refers to weather. A region of relatively high barometric pressure in which the pressure is highest at the middle. The winds circulate clockwise around the centre in the Northern Hemisphere and anti-clockwise in the Southern Hemisphere. Anticyclone is the opposite of Depression.
Motion in a clockwise manner in the northern hemisphere and motion in an anticlockwise manner in the southern hemisphere. ATMOSPHERE: The gaseous portion of a planet; the planet's envelope of air; one of the traditional subdivisions of the earth's physical environment. COLD ADVECTION: Transport of cold air into a region by horizontal winds.
The clockwise flow of air around a high-pressure mass.
(meteorology) winds spiraling outward from a high-pressure center; circling clockwise in the northern hemisphere and counter-clockwise in the southern
a closed, clockwise wind circulation in the Northern Hemisphere with relatively high pressure
a large body of high pressure whose circulation is clockwise in the Northern Hemisphere and anticlockwise in the Southern Hemisphere flowing out from a high pressure centre
a region of high atmospheric pressure relative to the surrounding air, generally www
A weather system with a clockwise circulation in the northern hemisphere and counterclockwise circulation in the southern hemisphere. Anticyclones are normally associated with high atmospheric pressure and thus are called High Pressure Systems.
A large weather system characterised by high pressures, generally mild clockwise winds and often clear skies. In summer, they are usually associated with hot weather and, in winter, rather cold night-time temperatures.
high pressure area with counterclockwise winds in the Southern Hemisphere and clockwise winds in the Northern Hemisphere.
Also known as 'ridge' or 'high pressure', a clockwise rotating area of air that tends to denote good weather. It is the opposite of cyclone.
The atmospheric pressure distribution in which there is a high central pressure relative to the surroundings.
a body of air in which the atmospheric pressure is higher than the pressure in the surrounding air; a high or high pressure area.
A high-pressure weather system. Winds rotate clockwise around an anticyclone. It is often associated with fair, sunny weather, but in the winter can produce very cold, even frigid weather.
any clockwise movement of air such as a high pressure system
An area of high pressure. Winds blow in a clockwise direction in the Northern Hemisphere and in a counter clockwise direction in the Southern Hemisphere. Fair weather is associated with an anticyclone.
The disposition of barometric pressures with a central region of higher pressure.
system a system of winds that rotates about a center of high atmospheric pressure (clockwise in the Northern Hemisphere and counterclockwise in the Southern Hemisphere)
An atmospheric condition of high central pressure, with currents flowing outward.
an atmospheric circulation that rotates clockwise in the Northern Hemisphere and counter-clockwise in the Southern Hemisphere, that usually has a diameter of 2000 to 3000 kilometers
An area of high atmospheric pressure which has a closed circulation that is anticyclonic (clockwise in northern hemisphere and counterclockwise in southern hemisphere).
an area of high pressure that usually brings fair weather
A large area of high pressure around which the winds blow clockwise in the Northern Hemisphere.
A large area of high atmospheric pressure, characterised by outward-spiralling winds - a "high".
A dome of air with high atmospheric pressure. Same as a ‘high'.
A relative pressure maximum. An area of pressure that has diverging winds and a rotation opposite to the earth's rotation. This is clockwise the Northern Hemisphere and counter-clockwise in the Southern Hemisphere. It is the opposite of an area of low pressure, or a cyclone. Related term: high pressure
A large-scale circulation of winds around a central region of high atmospheric pressure, clockwise in the Northern Hemisphere, counterclockwise in the Southern Hemisphere
An atmospheric anticyclonic circulation closed circulation. The wind in an anticyclone is in the clockwise direction in the Northern Hemisphere and counterclockwise in the Southern Hemisphere. With respect to the relative direction of its rotation, it is the opposite of a cyclone. Because anticyclonic circulation and relative high atmospheric pressure usually coexist, the terms anticyclone and high are used interchangeably in common practice. Compare ridge.
is a mass of circulating air which moves outward from a high-pressure area
rotating system of winds which diverge from a point of maximum pressure.
An area of high atmospheric pressure with diverging and descending air flows that rotate clockwise in the Northern Hemisphere and counterclockwise in the Southern Hemisphere.
A large area of high atmospheric pressure, characterized by outward-spiraling winds. A high.
In meteorology, an anticyclone (that is, opposite to a cyclone) is a weather phenomenon in which there is a descending movement of the air and a high pressure area over the part of the earth's surface affected by it.
