An anticyclone is the opposite of a depression. A depression stays for a short time whereas an anticyclone stays for a long period of time. In other words, an anticyclone is a high-pressure area, a circulation of winds around a central region of high atmospheric pressure, clockwise in the Northern Hemisphere, anticlockwise in the Southern Hemisphere.
In an anticyclone the air moves in the opposite direction of a cyclone. In the North Hemisphere the air blows counter clockwise and in the Southern Hemispere the air blows clockwise.
Cyclones (which are always low pressure weather systems) spin in a clockwise direction in the southern hemsiphere and anticlockwise in the northern hemisphere (as viewed from space). Anticyclone refers to a system rotating on the reverse direction so: anti-clockwise direction in the southern hemsiphere and clockwise in the northern hemisphere. The word typhoon is sometimes used to refer to a cyclone that forms in the Pacific northwest, and the word hurricane to a cyclone that forms in the Atlantic or east Pacific.
The air in anticyclones moves out from the center, cool air moves downward from higher in the troposphere. Anticyclone generally causes dry, clear weather.
Air masses moving in the northern hemisphere are turned westward from there original paths in the Westernlies.

High pressure systems in the Northern Hemisphere typically move in a clockwise direction.

A Cyclone is an air moving in a spiral around a large scale low-pressure area, counterclockwise if it is in the northern hemisphere and clockwise in the southern. Cyclones typically bring stormy weather. Anticyclone is an air moving in a spiral around a high-pressure area, clockwise if it is in the northern hemisphere and counterclockwise if it is in the southern hemisphere. Anticyclones typically bring fair, sunny weather.

its rotation
The Coriolis effect is the clockwise deflection of air in the north hemisphere and the counterclockwise deflection in the Southern Hemisphere.
