Midlatitude surface systems consist of continental-scale high and low pressure systems.1. Can you summarize the three most important aspects of the wind circulation around high and low pressure systems?
2. What are the results of these wind circulations for cloud and precipitation formation of these characteristics associated with high and low pressure systems?
3. What are some the consequences of temperature advection associated with each of these systems?
Solution:
| High (anticyclone) | Low (cyclone) | |
| 1. | a) clockwise b) outward c) downward | a) counterclockwise b) inward c) upward |
| 2. | downward circulation associated with clear conditions | upward circulation associated with cloud/precipitation |
| 3. | warm advection to west (left in picture) cold advection to east (right in picture) | warm advection to east (right in picture) cold advection to west (left in picture) |
