The Bermuda High Is a Large, Persistent High Pressure System

question 90

Multiple Choice

The Bermuda high is a large, persistent high pressure system centered roughly on the island of Bermuda in the mid- Atlantic. Air circulates clockwise around high pressure systems because of the Coriolis effect. Is there any connection between Atlantic Ocean currents and this weather feature?

• A) Yes, north Atlantic circulation is approximately the same as the long term average circulation of the Bermuda high.
• B) Yes, they are crudely correlated, but the weather systems are so chaotic that the correlation is not meaningful.
• C) No, north Atlantic circulation is clockwise, but the connections to the Bermuda high circulation are only circumstantial; the ocean circulation is a bigger feature.
• D) No, the North Atlantic Ocean circulation is counterclockwise, like all Northern Hemisphere gyres.
