- Synopsis
- This page shows two diagrams of the causes of high air pressure, each with a dashed line image border. There is a locator dot shown, which will be at the top left of the page when the image is the right way up. The diagram at the top of the page is a cross section view of a high pressure system, and the one at the bottom is a map view of the same system (seen from above). Cross section: There are two lines of arrows, starting on each side of the top of the image, which curve towards the centre of the page then down and back, along the surface of the Earth, to the image borders on the left and right. In between these lines of arrows, a single arrow indicates cool, heavier air sinking to the Earth's surface. Map: The diagram at the bottom of the page shows the same weather system from above. The clouds have been omitted. There is a series of concentric isobars represented by heavy dashed lines; each one is marked with the air pressure. Four arrows curve clockwise away from the area of high pressure in the middle of the diagram, showing cool air spiralling outwards at the surface of the Earth.
