Kõrgrõhud

Kõrgrõhud, also known as high-pressure systems or anticyclones, are atmospheric regions characterized by significantly higher atmospheric pressure than their surroundings. These systems are typically associated with stable weather conditions. As air descends within a high-pressure system, it warms and dries, inhibiting cloud formation and precipitation. Consequently, areas under the influence of a kõrgrõhud often experience clear skies, calm winds, and pleasant weather. The air circulation around a kõrgrõhud in the Northern Hemisphere is clockwise, while in the Southern Hemisphere, it is counterclockwise. These systems can persist for several days, bringing prolonged periods of fair weather. They are a fundamental component of global weather patterns and play a crucial role in the movement of air masses and the development of storms. The formation and behavior of kõrgrõhud are influenced by various factors, including temperature gradients and the Earth's rotation.
