AntiCyclone Free Tornado Pictures and Weather Information - Quote from Anticyclone - "In meteorology, an anticyclone (i.e. opposite to a cyclone) is a weather phenomenon in which there is a descending movement of the air and a relative increase in barometric pressure over the part of the earth's surface affected by it.
At the surface the air tends to flow outwards in all directions from the central area of high pressure, and is deflected on account of the earth's rotation (see Ferrel's law) so as to give a spiral movement.
In the northern hemisphere an anticyclone rotates in the clockwise direction, while it rotates counterclockwise in the southern hemisphere. The rotation is caused by the movement of colder higher pressure air that is moving away from the poles towards the equator being affected by the rotation of the earth.
Since the air in an anticyclone is descending, it becomes warmed and dried, and therefore transmits radiation freely whether from the sun to the earth or from the earth into space. Hence in winter anticyclonic weather is characterized by clear air with periods of frost, causing fogs in towns and low-lying damp areas, and in summer by still cloudless days with gentle variable airs and fine weather."
