Anticyclonic circulation System of air movements (atmospheric circulation) associated with an anticyclone, which is clockwise in the Northern Hemisphere and anti-clockwise in the Southern Hemisphere.
anticyclonic shear"Horizontal wind shear of such a nature that it contributes to the anticyclonic vorticity of the flow; that is, it tends to produce anticyclonic rotation of the individual air particles along the line of flow.
Anticyclonic - Rotation opposite the earth's rotational sense. In the Northern Hemisphere, clockwise rotation is anticyclonic. Wind in a ridge or around a high; supergeostrophic.
Anticyclonic Rotation - Rotation in the opposite direction of cyclonic rotation. In a meteorological sense, cyclonic rotation is generally associated with low pressure, and anticyclonic rotation is associated with high pressure.
Anticyclonic- describes the movement of air around a high pressure; and rotation about the local vertical oppostie the earth's rotation.
Anticyclonic Rotation - Rotation in the opposite sense as the Earth's rotation, i.e., clockwise in the Northern Hemisphere as would be seen from above. The opposite of cyclonic rotation.
Anticyclonic: The wind circulation pattern in Highs, or anticyclones, that has a sense of rotation opposite to that of cyclones and the Earth's rotation. Also, any rotational pattern that is opposite to that of cyclones and the Earth's rotation.
Anticyclonic Flow - Winds blow out and flow clockwise about an anticlonic high in the Northern Hemisphere, and the blow out and flow counterclockwise about an anticlone in the Southern Hemisphere.
anticyclonic - Having a sense of rotation about the local vertical opposite to that of the earth's rotation; that is, clockwise in the Northern Hemisphere, counterclockwise in the Southern Hemisphere, undefined at the equator.
Anticyclonic Gloom
Poor visibility, without precipitation, under an area of high pressure. The temperature inversion layer traps any pollution giving very dull conditions. Often seen in November.
Arctic Air ...
Cutoff high Anticyclonic circulation system that separates from the prevailing westerly airflow and therefore remains stationary.
HighAn area of high pressure, usually accompanied by anticyclonic and outward wind flow. Also known as an anticyclone. In Canada, a high is described as an area of high atmospheric pressure with a closed, clockwise movement of air.
AnticycloneA large-scale circulation of winds around a central region of high atmospheric pressure, clockwise in the Northern Hemisphere, counterclockwise in the Southern HemisphereAnticyclonic RotationRotation in the opposite sense as the ...
High: An area of high pressure: Anticyclonic.
High Pressure:Moves towards low pressure.
High Pressure: The winds are "Clockwise" (CW) in Northern Hemisphere. Move outward away from the center. Centrifugal force.
One of the most famous landmarks in the Solar System, Jupiter's Great Red Spot, is an anticyclonic storm known to have existed for at least 300 years.
Similarly, horizontal inertial instability can develop in strongly anticyclonically-sheared regimes, due to an imbalance of centrifugal forces.
Examples of inversions include those due to anticyclonic subsidence; cooling land by night (nocturnal inversions); and sea-breeze inversions, where cooler sea air under-cuts warmer land air.
The Azores High (also known as the Azores anticyclone) is a semi-permanent anticyclonic region with relatively consistent high pressure and subsiding air over the Atlantic Ocean at around 30°N latitude in winter (i.e. south of the Azores).
Usually associated with a high-pressure system. ANTICYCLONIC rotation is any rotation opposite to that of a cyclone. This rotation is clockwise in the northern hemisphere and counter-clockwise in the southern hemisphere.
Nearly all mesocyclones and strong or violent tornadoes exhibit cyclonic rotation, but some smaller vortices such as gustnadoes occasionally rotate anticyclonically (clockwise). Compare with anticyclonic rotation.
anticyclone—An area of high atmospheric pressure which has a closed circulation that is anticyclonic, i.e.
high pressure system: area of maximum air pressure and anticyclonic air movement.
humidity: the measure of how much water there is in the air.
Of the two, the right mover is most likely to weaken and dissipate (but on rare occasions can become a very severe anticyclonic-rotating storm), while the left mover is the one most likely to become a supercell.
Spring ...
RIDGE An elongated area of high atmospheric pressure that is associated with an area of maximum anticyclonic circulation. The opposite of a trough.

Hurricanes generally seem to ride on the anticyclonic flow of the large oceanic highs, "recurving" to accompany them along coasts to the west. However, the paths of hurricanes are highly unpredictable for individual storms.
Usually associated with and most clearly identified as an area of maximum anticyclonic curvature of the wind flow. The opposite of a trough.
