  "field": "Meteorology and atmospheric science",
  "definition": "Rotation in a direction contrary to the sun's apparent motion, which is counter-clockwise in the Northern Hemisphere. In atmospheric dynamics, this describes the direction of spin for certain large-scale circulation patterns. For instance, low-pressure systems in the Northern Hemisphere and high-pressure systems in the Southern Hemisphere exhibit withershins rotation.",
