A cyclone is a low pressure system in which the wind overall travels inwards and upwards. These systems rotate counterclockwise in the northern hemisphere and clockwise in the southern hemisphere. They typically bring stormy weather.
An anticyclone is a high pressure system in which the wind generally travels downwards and outwards. These systems rotate clockwise in the northern hemisphere and counterclockwise in the Southern Hemisphere. They typically bring clear weather.

Which describes both cyclones and anticyclones?
Cyclones and anticyclones can both be described and regions of pressure. They occur in a variety of sizes over the Earth's surface.
Are tornadoes cyclones or anticyclones?
The answer is simple. No. Tornados are on land, while cyclones are in water.

How do cyclones and anticyclones affect weather?

Compare cyclones and anticyclones what type of weather are associated with each?
They both circulate. Anticyclones bring dry clear weather and cyclones bring clouds wind and precipitation
Where do Extratropical cyclones and anticyclones function as migratory perturbations?
Westerlies.
What are center of low pressure called?
anticyclones
What happens to pressure and isobars in cyclones and in anticyclones?
The isobars become concentric and sometimes, especially in cyclones, tightly packed with low pressure in the cyclones and high pressure in the anticyclones. In the more intense systems the isobars may be almost perfectly circular.
What Meteorologists track cyclones and anticyclone because they?
Meteorologists track cyclones and anticyclones because these are dangerous weather situations. If a meteorologist can warn the public that cyclones are going to be in their area, then it may stop people from getting hurt.
How do anti-cyclones spiral in the northern hemisphere?
Anticyclones in the northern hemisphere rotate clockwise.
