| |Meaning=An atmospheric [[anticyclonic circulation]], a [[closed circulation]]. The [[wind]] in an anticyclone is in the clockwise direction in the Northern Hemisphere and counterclockwise in the Southern Hemisphere.
| |
| |Explanation=With respect to the relative direction of its rotation, it is the opposite of a [[cyclone]]. Because anticyclonic circulation and relative high atmospheric [[pressure]] usually coexist, the terms anticyclone and [[high]] are used interchangeably in common practice. <br/>''Compare'' [[ridge]].
