The Bermuda High Is a Large, Persistent High Pressure System

Question 3

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.
