Anticyclone
Definition
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.
