High-pressure area the opposite direction of clockwise is referred to as anticlockwise, making the label "anticyclones" a logical extension. A simple rule is that for high-pressure areas, where generally air flows from the center outward, the coriolis force given by the earth's rotation to the air circulation is in the opposite direction of earth's apparent rotation if viewed from above the hemisphere's pole. So, both the earth and winds around a low-pressure area rotate counter-clockwise in the northern hemisphere, and clockwise in the southern. The opposite to these two cases occurs in the case of a high. These results derive from the
Back pressure device halts the sending of data packets until the buffers have been emptied and are once more capable of storing information. It also refers to an algorithm for routing data according to congestion gradients (see backpressure routing). Back pressure Back pressure (or backpressure) is a nonstandard term used to describe pressure opposed to the desired flow of fluid in a system. The term is misleading because pressure is a scalar quantity having a magnitude but with no direction associated with it. The obstructions or tight bends in a confined space such as an exhaust pipe oppose desired flow and reduce
