The term cyclone, in common use, is sometimes applied to a tornado. In the science of meteorology, however, the term has a different meaning. For meteorologists, a cyclone — and its counterpart, an anticyclone — is a large-scale system of air circulation in the atmosphere in the zones between the equator and either of the poles. It can be considered as either producing or resulting from differences in air pressure in those zones. In a cyclone the central air pressure is lower than that of the surrounding environment, and the flow of circulation is clockwise in the Southern Hemisphere and counterclockwise in the Northern Hemisphere. Cyclones are also characterized by low-level convergence and ascending air within the system. An anticyclone system has characteristics opposite to that of a cyclone. That is, an anticyclone's central air pressure is higher than that of its surroundings, and the airflow is counterclockwise in the Southern Hemisphere and clockwise in the Northern Hemisphere. Anticyclones are usually characterized by low-level divergence and subsiding air. The trade winds are the prevailing pattern of surface winds from the east toward the west (easterly) found in the tropics, within the lower portion of the Earth's atmosphere, in the lower part of the troposphere near the Earth's equator.
