Anticyclones or high pressure centers are found between the subtropical and mild areas of the planet.
The Azores anticyclone usually spreads throughout the North Atlantic and focuses on the so-called archipelago.

“The Flying Islands” helps to explain different meteorological phenomena that are key to understanding free flight sports. In this chapter based on the island of Gran Canaria we can understand a little more about how an anticyclone is formed and behaves. Visit our profile and check out the complete series.
