The law states how the location of pressure systems can be deduced from the wind direction in the Northern Hemisphere.
"If one stands with his back to the wind, atmospheric pressure is higher to his right and lower to his left" (restated: a high pressure system may be to your right, or a low pressure system to your left).
This is because in the Northern Hemisphere, the rotation of high pressure systems is clockwise and in low pressure systems, it is counterclockwise.

Which gas law has the assumptions of a fixed amount and a fixed temperature of a gas?
Charles' Law Boyle's Law (APEX)
Which law is Some energy is released as unusable heat energy into the environment?
The closest law is the Second Law of Thermodynamics. Note that not necessarily "most" energy will be converted to unusable heat, but it is almost inevitable that some will.
What are the gas laws?
Boyle' Law P1V1 = P2V2 Charles' Law V1 / T1 = V2 / T2 Gay-Lussac's Law P1 ÷ T1 = P2 ÷ T2 The Combined Gas LawP1V1 / T1 = P2V2 / T2 The Ideal Gas Law PV=nRT KEY: P = pressure V = volume T = temperature R = 0.0821atm*L/mol*K n = number of mole of gas
What is the diffrence between scientific law and scientific theory?
A law is known to be true. There is no dispute about it. A theory is disputable. Gravity is a law, the Big Bang is a theory.
What is the buys ballots rule?
The Buys Ballot's Law states that if you stand with your back to the wind in the Northern Hemisphere, low pressure will be to your left and high pressure will be to your right. This rule is named after Dutch meteorologist C.H.D. Buys Ballot.
Does buys ballots law locate the nearest lower pressure isobar or the nearest low pressure center?
Buys Ballots law says that if you stand with your back to the wind, the area of low pressure is on your left. It is referring to the area or centre, not individual isobars, although it follows that the pressure on your left will be generally lower than on your right.
How does Buys-Ballots law help to locate regions of high and low pressure aloft and at the surface?
"If you stand with your back to the wind, then turn clockwise about 30 degrees, the center of lowest pressue will be to your left. This relationship between wind and pressure is often called Buys-Ballot's law" -Meteorology Today, Ahrens pg.216 9th edition
