Talk:Anticyclone
From Academic Kids
The following statement is false:
- An anticyclone in the southern hemisphere is associated with atmospheric low pressure.

It is worth it to save the 500Mb chart from NOAA (http://weather.noaa.gov/fax/barotrop.shtml#mb500) because of the unusual anticyclone located at 48N and 120W on February 24, 2005 at 0000Z. A similar anticyclone is located close to Greenland and Eastern Canada at this time. They seem to be associated with the maritime storms which are strong at this time of the year.
It is unlikely that a similar anticyclone will be created during the summertime. It seems to be an "hibernal" (wintertime) as well as a "maritime" (of the sea or ocean) anticyclone.
I have viewed many 500MB charts over the years, but had not seen this type of anticyclone in the past. I may have overlooked this type of anticyclone, of course.
A previously uncharted "Polar low" (cyclone) has been uncovered lately and photographed from space, so a third type of high-pressure cell may well exist, too. SIGNOFF AT 0840Z February 24, 2005.

Storms at high latitudes contain rising air that produces a third type of anticyclone when the dry air descends and settles. The anticyclones appear over the sea at high latitudes. They are tall anticyclones. They may not move from the location where they first appear. At this time, one of these types of anticyclones is located at 60"N and 30"W. (17:27GMT)
