Which weather phenomenon results from the Coriolis effect acting on synoptic air masses influenced by a high-pressure system?

💡 Explanation

When descending air encounters a high-pressure system, the Coriolis effect deflects the air flow, causing it to rotate. Therefore anticyclonic (clockwise in the Northern Hemisphere, counter-clockwise in the Southern Hemisphere) air circulation enhancement results, rather than other effects tied to distinct atmospheric instabilities.
