# Anticyclones are also known as high pressure systems.
# The sinking air in an anticyclone stabilizes the atmosphere, bringing clear, sunny weather. # Anticyclones have anticyclonic rotation, meaning their winds circulate clockwise if they are in the northern hemisphere and counterclockwise if they are int he Southern Hemisphere. # Anticyclones often form the centers of warm and cold air masses. # Like other large scale weather systems, anticyclones play a key role in steering other weather systems. # Anticyclones can create temperature inversions that trap pollutants near the ground. # Very large anticyclones in the middle latitudes can become blocking highs, halting the normal eastward movement of weather systems. # Two anticylones can produce a low pressure called a trough between them. This trough can develop into a storm system. # Winds between an anticyclone and a cyclone can be especially strong. # Air in a high pressure system flows inward at upper levels and outward at lower levels.

Why don't fronts form in anticyclones?

What air pressure do anticyclones have?
Anticyclones produce high barometric pressure.
What are anticyclones and depressions?
Anticyclones are high pressure arear and depressions are low pressure areas.
Can anticyclones be affected by climate change?
Anticyclones can be affected by climate change. When air temperature increases it causes clouds to evaporate and anticyclones create dry weather in the summer time.

Why do you not hear about the anticyclones?
Anticyclones are typically referred to as high pressure areas. They are normally centered over a large area often with dry weather and clear skies. More often than not you do hear about anticyclones, but they are referred to as areas of high pressure instead.
