Cyclonic rotation
From Infogalactic: the planetary knowledge core
Cyclonic rotation or circulation is movement in the same direction as the Earth's rotation, as opposed to anticyclonic rotation. The Coriolis effect causes cyclonic rotation to be in a counterclockwise direction in the northern hemisphere, and clockwise in the southern hemisphere.[1] A closed area of winds rotating cyclonically is known as a cyclone.
