High-pressure area flow more outward than would be the case in the absence of friction. This is known as a geostrophic wind. High-pressure area A high-pressure area, high or anticyclone is a region where the atmospheric pressure at the surface of the planet is greater than its surrounding environment. Winds within high-pressure areas flow outward from the higher pressure areas near their centers towards the lower pressure areas further from their centers. Gravity adds to the forces causing this general movement, because the higher pressure compresses the column of air near the center of the area into greater density – and so
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
