plural of anticyclone
anticyclone
an atmospheric condition of high central pressure, with currents flowing outward
Anticyclone
An area of high atmospheric pressure synonym: high
Anticyclone
synoptic scale weather system with winds blowing anticyclonically (clockwise in the northern hemisphere) in the low troposphere
Anticyclone
high pressure area with counterclockwise winds in the Southern Hemisphere and clockwise winds in the Northern Hemisphere
Anticyclone
An area of high pressure around which the wind blows clockwise in the Northern Hemisphere and counterclockwise in the Southern Also called a high
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
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 atmospheric pressure distribution in which there is a high central pressure relative to the surroundings This term was selected to imply the possession of characteristics opposite to those found in a cyclone or depression As such, the circulation about the center of an anticyclone is clockwise (counter-clockwise) in the northern (southern) hemisphere, and the weather is generally quiet and settled
Anticyclone
A high pressure area where winds blow clockwise in the Northern Hemisphere and counterclockwise in the Southern Hemisphere See cyclone, wind
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
Anticyclone
A system of winds circulating outwards from an area of high pressure in a clockwise motion in the Northern Hemisphere (or anti-clockwise in the Southern Hemisphere)
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 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
Anticyclone
High-pressure system around which the winds blow in a clockwise direction in the Northern Hemisphere (counter-clockwise in the Southern Hemisphere)
Anticyclone
A large body of air in which the atmospheric pressure is higher than the pressure in the surrounding air The winds blow clockwise around an anticyclone in the Northern Hemisphere
Anticyclone
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
Anticyclone
A large area of high atmospheric pressure, characterised by outward-spiralling winds A "high"
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 It is the opposite of an area of low pressure, or a cyclone
Anticyclone
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
Anticyclone
A large area of high pressure around which the winds blow clockwise in the Northern Hemisphere
Anticyclone
(meteorology) winds spiraling outward from a high-pressure center; circling clockwise in the northern hemisphere and counter-clockwise in the southern
Anticyclone
area of high atmospheric pressure caused by descending air, which becomes warm and dry Winds radiate from a calm centre, taking a clockwise direction in the northern hemisphere and an anticlockwise direction in the southern hemisphere
Anticyclone
any high pressure system In NH, wind blow out of anticyclone clockwise (Anticyclone)
Anticyclone
An atmospheric high-pressure closed circulation with clockwise rotation in the Northern Hemisphere, counterclockwise in the Southern Hemisphere, and undefined at the Equator
Anticyclone
An area of high atmospheric pressure which has a closed circulation that is anticyclonic (clockwise in northern hemisphere and counterclockwise in southern hemisphere)
anticyclone
a system of winds that spiral out from a centre of high pressure
anticyclone
An anticyclone is an area of high atmospheric pressure which causes settled weather conditions and, in summer, clear skies and high temperatures. an area of high air pressure that causes calm weather in the place it is moving over cyclone
anticyclone
A movement of the atmosphere opposite in character, as regards direction of the wind and distribution of barometric pressure, to that of a cyclone
anticyclone
{i} winds rotating around an area of high atmospheric pressure (Meteorology)
