Class: LowPressureSystem

A low pressure system is a region where the atmospheric pressure is lowest with relation to the surrounding area. A low pressure system is an area of a relative pressure minimum that has converging winds and rotates in the same direction as the earth. This is counterclockwise in the Northern Hemisphere and clockwise in the Southern Hemisphere. Also known as an cyclone, it is the opposite of an area of high pressure, or a anticyclone.
