The flow of air into a low pressure cell is called cyclonic. Cyclonic circulation is counterclockwise in the Northern Hemisphere and clockwise in the Southern Hemisphere. The flow of air into a high pressure cell is called anti-cyclonic. Anticyclonic circulation is clockwise in the Northern Hemisphere, and counterclockwise in the Southern Hemisphere.

A counterclockwise atmospheric circulation in the northern hemisphere is known as what?
A cyclone, or cyclonic storm. These are low pressure systems that include tropical storms and hurricanes.

Tornadoes are cyclonic while hurricanes are?
Also cyclonic.
Why are tornadoes and hurricanes considered cyclones?
A cyclone is a large-scale low-pressure weather system with an organized cyclonic circulation (clockwise in the northern hemisphere and counterclockwise in the southern). A hurricane meets all these characteristics, and is more specifically a tropical cyclone. Tornadoes are sometimes called cyclone, but this is not entirely correct. A tornado is a low pressure area with an organized cyclonic circulation, but it is a small-scale vortex dependent on a parent thunderstorm.
What is the climate in India at post-monsoon season?
its a northeastrly monsoon ... a period of lake rainfall in the region of SW monsoon.its the season of cyclonic circulation in the Bay of Bangal and Arabian sea.
What is the difference between stroam and cyclone?
A cyclone is a large scale low pressure system with a closed circulation, and cyclonic rotation. Most storms are small to middle scale systems and do not rotate.
The nature of the winter rainfall in north western India is cyclonic or monsoonal?
cyclonic
What is cyclonic floods?
Cyclonic flooding occurs when the wind from the cyclone causes large masses of water to be displaced. This normally happens near oceans where cyclones will cause waves to become higher and more harsh.
True or false right heart failure causes a back up of blood into pulmonary circulation?
false RHF causes backup into the systemic circulation
In the northern hemisphere the wind circulation in a low pressure area is?
In the northern hemisphere, the wind circulation in a low pressure area is counterclockwise. Air flows towards the center of the low pressure system, rises, cools, and then moves outward at the upper levels of the atmosphere before descending back towards the surface. This circulation pattern is known as cyclonic flow.
What are Caribbean cyclonic weather systems called?
cyclonic weather systems in the Caribbean are called hurricanes
