Describe the horizontal and vertical air motions in a high-pressure anticyclone and in a low-pressure cyclone.

Respuesta :

Winds near the surface move across the isobars at an angle when the frictional force, pressure gradient force, and apparent Coriolis force are combined.

What is the motion of horizontal and vertical air in a high-pressure anticyclone and in a low-pressure cyclone?

Winds near the surface move across the isobars at an angle when the frictional force is combined with the pressure gradient force and the apparent force of the Coriolis effect. Consequently, the air spirals and converges as it advances in the direction of low pressure. A cyclone sometimes referred to as a low-pressure system, is created by this spiraling inward toward a center of low pressure. Convergence is the technical term for this inward spiraling action, which likewise raises the air at the center.

Air spirals downward and outward from an anticyclone, also known as a high-pressure system, in a high-pressure area. Divergence is the name for this spiraling outward motion. Cyclones rotate anticlockwise in the northern hemisphere and clockwise in the southern hemisphere.
