Definition1/18
A front that spirals counterclockwise in the Northern Hemisphere
is called an occluded front.
Fronts don't flow counterclockwise, although a low does have a
counterclockwise spin and frontal systems form off of a low.

Definition1/18
The Troposphere, which is the lowest layer of the atmosphere, is where most of our weather occurs. The troposphere extends from the surface of the Earth upwards to a height that varies from about 9 km (or 30,000 ft) at the poles and 17 km (or 56,000 ft) at the equator.
