    Anticyclone
    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 planet's surface affected by it. Anticyclonic flow spirals in a clockwise direction in the Northern Hemisphere and counter-clockwise in the Southern.

    ANTICYCLONE
    A relative pressure maximum. An area of pressure that has diverging winds and a rotation opposite to the earth's rotation.

    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. When the area of highest pressure is elongated, it is called a high pressure ridge, or simply a ridge.
