A polar cyclone is a low-pressure
weather system, usually spanning 1,000 kilometres (620 mi) to 2,000 kilometres (1,200 mi), in which the air circulates in a counterclockwise direction in the northern hemisphere, and a clockwise direction in the southern hemisphere.

Cyclone - WikipediaMain article: Polar cyclone A polar, sub-polar, or Arctic cyclone (also known as a polar vortex)[46] is a vast area of low pressure that strengthens in the winter and weakens in the summer.[47] <span>A polar cyclone is a low-pressure weather system, usually spanning 1,000 kilometres (620 mi) to 2,000 kilometres (1,200 mi), in which the air circulates in a counterclockwise direction in the northern hemisphere, and a clockwise direction in the southern hemisphere. The Coriolis acceleration acting on the air masses moving poleward at high altitude, causes a counterclockwise circulation at high altitude. The poleward movement of air originates from Summary
