#high pressure

• Anticyclone — A large-scale atmospheric formation characterized by an area of high barometric pressure (barometric maximum), where values decrease from the center toward the periphery. This structural phenomenon induces a divergent movement of air masses, which circulate clockwise in the Northern Hemisphere and counterclockwise in the Southern Hemisphere, typically being associated with stable, clear weather, devoid of precipitation, or with the formation of thermal inversions during winter.
• Anticyclonic — Pertaining to an anticyclone, specific or characteristic of high atmospheric pressure systems; rotating clockwise in the Northern Hemisphere and counterclockwise in the Southern Hemisphere. In synoptic meteorology, the term describes stable weather regimes, descending air movements (subsidence), and wind mass circulation around a barometric maximum.
