1863, coined by Francis Galton (1822-1911), English polymath, explorer, and meteorologist, from anti- + cyclone. Related: Anticyclonic.

large weather system where air spins around a center of high pressure. Anticyclones spin clockwise in the Northern Hemisphere and counterclockwise in the Southern Hemisphere.

n. An atmospheric condition of high central pressure, with currents flowing outward.

a stable, generally subsiding air mass producing high pressure, warming conditions. The resultant fall in relative humidity leads to clear skies.

(n) - a high pressure center where air moves outward from the center

(n) (meteorology) winds spiraling outward from a high pressure center; circling clockwise in the northern hemisphere and counterclockwise in the southern

An area of high pressure, also called a High

An area of high atmospheric pressure around which the wind blows clockwise in the Northern Hemisphere and counterclockwise in the Southern Hemisphere. It is usually associated with fair weather.

An atmospheric high-pressure closed circulation with clockwise rotation in the Northern Hemisphere, counterclockwise in the Southern Hemisphere, and undefined at the Equator.

An area of high atmospheric pressure with diverging and descending air flows that rotate clockwise in the Northern Hemisphere and counterclockwise in the Southern Hemisphere.

A closed system of high atmospheric pressure that disperses cloud formations and inhibits precipitation.

A region of relatively high pressure where air is descending through the atmosphere normally brings dry and settled weather. Winds on the surface blow clockwise around it in the northern hemisphere an [..]

Area of high barometric pressure where the wind circulates clockwise in the Northern Hemisphere, and counter-clockwise in the Southern Hemisphere. These are fair weather systems with light or moderate [..]

A high pressure area where winds blow clockwise in the Northern Hemisphere and counterclockwise in the Southern Hemisphere. See cyclone, wind.

An area of high pressure around which the wind blows clockwise in the Northern Hemisphere and counterclockwise in the Southern Hemisphere. At the center of the circulation, there is sinking air. Generally, this sinking air provides clear skies.

Large-scale circulation of winds. Also includes: High pressure, Subtropical High Pressure Belt.

an atmospheric circulation that rotates clockwise in the Northern Hemisphere and counter-clockwise in the Southern Hemisphere, which usually has a diameter of 2000 to 3000 kilometers

<meteorology> A movement of the atmosphere opposite in character, as regards direction of the wind and distribution of barometric pressure, to that of a cyclone. Anticyclon"ic, Anticyclon"ically. (01 Mar 1998)

An area of high atmospheric pressure which has a closed circulation that is anticyclonic, i.e., as viewed from above, the circulation is clockwise in the Northern Hemisphere, counterclockwise in the S [..]

A large-scale circulation of winds around a central region of high atmospheric pressure, clockwise in the Northern Hemisphere, counterclockwise in the Southern Hemisphere

A relative pressure maximum. An area of pressure that has diverging winds and a rotation opposite to the earth's rotation. This is clockwise the Northern Hemisphere and counter-clockwise in the Southern Hemisphere. It is the opposite of an area of low pressure, or a cyclone; Related term: high pressure.

A large scale atmospheric circulation system in which the winds rotate anti clockwise in the Southern Hemisphere (clockwise in Northern Hemisphere). Anticyclones are areas of high atmospheric pressure and are generally associated with light winds and stable weather conditions. Interchangeable with High pressure system.

An area of pressure that has diverging winds and a rotation opposite to the earth's rotation. This is clockwise the Northern Hemisphere and counter-clockwise in the Southern Hemisphere. It is the [..]

A large are of high atmospheric pressure, characterised by outward-spiralling winds- a ‘high’. In the northern hemisphere winds rotate around an anticyclone in a clockwise direction.

An area of high pressure. Winds circulate around the center of an anticyclone in a clockwise direction in the Northern Hemisphere and in a counter-clockwise direction in the Southern Hemisphere.  Fair [..]

A dome of air that exerts relatively high surface pressure compared with surrounding air; same as a high
