Cyclonic rotation, or cyclonic circulation, is atmospheric motion in the same direction as a planet's rotation, as opposed to anticyclonic rotation. In the case of Earth's rotation, the Coriolis effect causes cyclonic rotation to be in a counter clockwise direction in the Northern Hemisphere and clockwise in the Southern Hemisphere. [1] A closed area of winds rotating cyclonically is known as a cyclone.
