Anticyclone

Anticyclone. Refers to weather. A region of relatively high barometric pressure in which the pressure is highest at the middle.

The sub-tropical anticyclones
The subsiding high level air of the Hadley cell forms the persistent sub-tropical high pressure belt, or ridge, encircling the globe and usually located between 30°S and 50°S.

These occur particularly when anticyclones are in place over central Europe in November/December/January when temperatures are low, and radiation fog forms easily in relatively stable air.
