The term for a hurricane in Australia is tropical cyclone or just cyclone.Cyclones that form in the southern hemisphere by Australia rotate clockwise, while those that form north of the equator rotate counter-c
For fast-moving TCs, however, the rain rate distribution is highly asymmetric, with a clear front and front-left maximum in the northern hemisphere (or front and front-right in the southern hemisphere), which is consistent with the results from previous work21,22. In TCs, strong convergent ...

In the Southern Hemisphere, the opposite takes place: Wind around low-pressure systems circles clockwise while wind around high-pressure systems circles counterclockwise. The swirling motions around low-pressure systems are actually the driving forces behind hurricanes. The air gets sucked in with such...

SAM, also known as the Antarctic oscillation (AAO), is a major driver of climate variability in the Southern Hemisphere (Thompson and Solomon 2002). It has been shown to influence windiness, storminess, rainfall and temperatures from the subtropics to Antarctica (Gillett et al. 2006). Defined ...
