What's the difference between anticyclone and cyclone?

Anticyclone


Definition:

  • (n.) A movement of the atmosphere opposite in character, as regards direction of the wind and distribution of barometric pressure, to that of a cyclone.

Example Sentences:

  • (9) We use the decimal classification of weather, and on the basis of this we could prove a connection between the intensity of the start of the thromboembolic process and cyclonic and anticyclonic weather situations and situations which favour allergic-hyperergic reactions to inflammatory processes.

Cyclone


Definition:

  • (n.) A violent storm, often of vast extent, characterized by high winds rotating about a calm center of low atmospheric pressure. This center moves onward, often with a velocity of twenty or thirty miles an hour.
