This is known as an anticyclone. In an anticyclone, the air descends, causing high pressure at the surface. The sinking air diverges at the surface, creating stable and clear weather conditions.
A high pressure center of dry air is called an anticyclone
Friction tends to slow down the air near the surface, affecting the inner portions of cyclones and anticyclones. It causes the air to move slightly inward towards low-pressure cyclones and slightly outward from high-pressure anticyclones. In general, friction weakens the circulation of both cyclones and anticyclones.
The high-altitude airflow moving from west to east creates a region of diverging air aloft and sinking air at the surface in the west, supporting the formation of an anticyclone. At the same time, this airflow creates a region of converging air aloft and rising air at the surface to the east, leading to the formation of a cyclone. This setup is known as the Rossby wave pattern and is a common feature in the mid-latitudes.
The movement of air is considered a cycle because it continuously circulates in the Earth's atmosphere through processes such as convection, wind patterns, and atmospheric circulation. Air masses are constantly being displaced and redistributed, creating a cycle of air movement around the globe.
An anticyclone is a region of high atmospheric pressure relative to the surrounding air.
This is known as an anticyclone. In an anticyclone, the air descends, causing high pressure at the surface. The sinking air diverges at the surface, creating stable and clear weather conditions.
An anticyclone
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.
The movement of wheather fronts from high pressure (cyclone) to low pressure systems(anticyclone).
An anticyclone
A weather system with high barometric pressure at it's centre, around which air slowly circulates. They are associated with fine, calm weather
An anticyclone is a high pressure system, which means it is characterized by subsiding air which causes relatively calm winds and clear skies.
A high pressure center of dry air is called an anticyclone
The descending air of an anticyclone generally causes dry, clear air.
