The type of weather brought about by an anticyclone depends on its origin. For example, extensions of the Azores high pressure may bring about anticyclonic gloom during the winter because they pick up moisture as they move over the warmer oceans. High pressures that build to the north and move southwards often bring clear weather because they are cooled at the base (as opposed to warmed) which helps prevent clouds from forming. </p><p>Once arctic air moves over an unfrozen ocean, the air mass modifies greatly over the warmer water and takes on the character of a maritime air mass, which reduces the strength of the high-pressure system.<sup id="cite_ref-14" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-14"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>14<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> When extremely cold air moves over relatively warm oceans, <a href="/wiki/Polar_low" title="Polar low">polar lows</a> can develop.<sup id="cite_ref-15" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-15"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>15<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> However, warm and moist (or maritime tropical) air masses which move poleward from tropical sources are slower to modify than arctic air masses.<sup id="cite_ref-16" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-16"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>16<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Mid-tropospheric_systems">Mid-tropospheric systems</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Anticyclone&action=edit&section=7" title="Edit section: Mid-tropospheric systems"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <figure class="mw-halign-right" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Subtropridgejulyna.gif" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/f2/Subtropridgejulyna.gif/250px-Subtropridgejulyna.gif" decoding="async" width="250" height="178" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/f2/Subtropridgejulyna.gif/375px-Subtropridgejulyna.gif 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/f2/Subtropridgejulyna.gif/500px-Subtropridgejulyna.gif 2x" data-file-width="625" data-file-height="445" /></a><figcaption>Mean July subtropical ridge position in <a href="/wiki/North_America" title="North America">North America</a></figcaption></figure> <p>The circulation around mid-level (altitude) ridges, and the air subsidence at their center, act to steer tropical cyclones around and out their periphery.
