anticycloneStorm Storm, n.
Anticyclonic storm (Meteor.), a storm characterized by a
central area of high atmospheric pressure, and having a
system of winds blowing spirally outward in a direction
contrary to that cyclonic storms. It is attended by low
temperature, dry air, infrequent precipitation, and often
by clear sky. Called also high-area storm,
anticyclone. When attended by high winds, snow, and
freezing temperatures such storms have various local
names, as blizzard, wet norther, purga, buran,
etc.

CycloneCyclone Cy"clone, n.
1. (Meteor.) In general, a condition of the atmosphere
characterized by a central area of pressure much lower
than that of surrounding areas, and a system of winds
blowing inward and around (clockwise in the southern
hemisphere and counter-clockwise in the northern); --
called also a low-area storm. It is attended by high
temperature, moist air, abundant precipitation, and
clouded sky. The term includes the hurricane, typhoon, and
tropical storms; it should not be applied to the moderate
disturbances attending ordinary areas of low pressure nor
to tornadoes, waterspouts, or ``twisters,' in which the
vertical motion is more important than the horizontal.
2. A tornado. See above, and Tornado. [Middle U. S.] Cyclone
Cyclone Cy"clone (s?"kl?n), n. [Gr.????? moving in a circle,

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.
Note: The atmospheric disturbance usually accompanying a
cyclone, marked by an onward moving area of high
pressure, is called an anticyclone.
