For example, the Beaufort High—an extension of the <a href="/wiki/Siberian_High" title="Siberian High">Siberian High</a> system—is a pressure system that drives the anticyclonic motion of the Beaufort Gyre.<sup id="cite_ref-Talley_36-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Talley-36"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>36<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> During the summer, this area of high pressure is pushed out closer to its Siberian and Canadian sides.

In the summer, the SLP contrast is smaller, producing weaker winds. A final example of seasonal pressure system movement is the low pressure system that exists over the Nordic and Barents Seas. It is an extension of the <a href="/wiki/Icelandic_Low" title="Icelandic Low">Icelandic Low</a>, which creates cyclonic ocean circulation in this area.
