Anticyclones bringing fairer weather
There are several key surface features to consider when making a forecast.
Anticyclone Area of increased atmospheric pressure relative to surrounding pressure field in the atmosphere. It is outlined by closed isobars on a synoptic surface chart, and by closed contours on a constant-pressure chart.
Anticyclones or high pressure systems are atmospheric circulations that rotate anti-clockwise in the Southern Hemisphere. Anticyclones are areas of higher pressure and are generally associated with lighter winds and fine and settled conditions.
Anticyclone
An anticyclone is a region of high atmospheric pressure relative to the surrounding air, generally thousands of kilometres in diameter and also known as a high or high-pressure system.
anticyclone"An atmospheric anticyclonic circulation, a closed circulation. The wind in an anticyclone is in the clockwise direction in the Northern Hemisphere and counterclockwise in the Southern Hemisphere.
anticyclone: high pressure area with counterclockwise winds in the Southern Hemisphere and clockwise winds in the Northern Hemisphere.

ANTICYCLONE: A large area of high pressure around which the winds blow clockwise in the Northern Hemisphere.
anticyclone: a body of air that circulates clockwise and outward in the Northern Hemisphere and counterclockwise and outward in the Southern Hemisphere, and is associated with a high atmospheric pressure.
Anticyclone- a body of air in which the atmospheric pressure is higher than the pressure in the surrounding air; a high or high pressure area.
Anticyclone: An area of high pressure, also called a High, around which the winds circulate in a clockwise direction in the Northern Hemisphere (and counter-clockwise in the Southern Hemisphere). It is usually responsible for fair, dry weather.
Anticyclone - large high pressure area.
Atmospheric Layers
Troposphere - the bottom few miles of the air's depth. Temperature decrease with height at an average rate of almost 6°C per km.
Anticyclone A dome of air that exerts relatively high surface pressure compared with surrounding air; same as a high. Viewed from above in the Northern Hemisphere, surface winds in an anticyclone blow clockwise and outward.
Anticyclone - An area of high atmospheric pressure characterized by diverging and rotating winds and subsiding air aloft.
Anticyclone - 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 ...
anticyclone—An area of high atmospheric pressure which has a closed circulation that is anticyclonic, i.e.
Anticyclone
A large scale atmospheric circulation system in which the winds rotate anti clockwise in the Southern Hemisphere (clockwise in Northern Hemisphere).
ANTICYCLONE
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.
Anticyclone A high pressure area where winds blow clockwise in the Northern Hemisphere and counterclockwise in the Southern Hemisphere. See cyclone, wind.
AOS See Acquisition of Signal.
Anticyclone
A large-scale circulation of winds around a central region of high atmospheric pressure, clockwise in the Northern Hemisphere, counterclockwise in the Southern Hemisphere
Anticyclonic Rotation ...
Anticyclone - 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.
Anticyclone: Distribution of the atmospheric pressure in which there is a central pressure higher than the adjacent pressures. It is characterized in a synoptic chart as a system of closed isobars, involving a high central pressure.
Anticyclone- A high-pressure center of dry air.
Atmosphere- The layer of gases that surrounds Earth.
Anticyclone - A high-pressure system that moves in a clockwise motion. These bring you sunny skies.
Arctic Air - An air mass that originates over Canada and brings us cold temperatures.
Anticyclone
A region of relatively high pressure where air is descending through the atmosphere normally brings dry and settled weather.

ANTICYCLONE - The opposite of a cyclone. Usually associated with a high-pressure system. ANTICYCLONIC rotation is any rotation opposite to that of a cyclone.
Blocking highA high pressure area (anticyclone), often aloft, that remains nearly stationary or moves slowly compared to west-to-east motion. It blocks the movement eastward movement of low pressure areas (cyclones) at its latitude.
AnticyclogenesisThe formation or intensification of an anticyclone or high pressure center.
HIHigh- In meteorology, a region of high pressure; also known as anticyclone. HICHydrologist In ChargeHigh(abbrev. HI)- In meteorology, a region of high pressure; also known as anticyclone.
High An area of high barometric pressure, with its attendant system of winds; an anticyclone.
The obstructing, on a large scale, of the normal west-to-east progress of migratory cyclones and anticyclones.
This requires a pressure pattern which allows stagnation of the air - and this usually means a slow-moving anticyclone such as is found in the great sub-tropical high pressure belts, ...
Also known as an cyclone, it is the opposite of an area of high pressure, or a anticyclone.
An anticyclone or high is the opposite case, and now the wind must blow clockwise so the forces can balance. Let's consider circular isobars making idealized cyclones and anticyclones.
Subsidence Inversion It is produced by adiabatic heating of air as it sinks and is associated with anticyclones (high pressure) and/or stable air masses.
SUBSIDENCE
A sinking or downward motion of air, often seen in anticyclones. It is most prevalent when there is colder, denser air aloft. It is often used to imply the opposite of atmospheric convection.
Also known as an anticyclone, it is the opposite of an area of low pressure or a cyclone. HOARFROST Another name for frost. A deposit of hoarfrost occurs when air with a dew point below freezing is brought to saturation by cooling.
Horse Latitudes
Belts of light, variable winds and fine weather associated with the subtropical anticyclones at latitudes between about 30 and 35 degrees.
Humidity
Water vapor content of the air.
High: A region of high pressure, marked as "H" on a weather map. A high is usually associated with fair weather. See Anticyclone.
Synoptic scale - A large scale event that is usually measured in hundreds to thousands of kilometers and days to weeks; e.g. fronts, cyclones, and anticyclones.
A region of high pressure. Air flows outward and (on the northern hemisphere) clockwise around high pressure areas. A high is usually associated with fair weather. Also called "anticyclone".
Hindcast ...
This is counterclockwise in the Northern Hemisphere and clockwise in the Southern Hemisphere. Also known as an cyclone, it is the opposite of an area of high pressure, or a anticyclone. Related terms: closed low, cold low, and cut-off low ...
converging winds and rotates in the same direction as the earth. This is counterclockwise in the Northern Hemisphere and clockwise in the Southern Hemisphere. Also known as an cyclone, it is the opposite of an area of high pressure, or a anticyclone.
anticyclone (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.
