Subtropical Ridge 1
Subtropical Ridge 1 : A large belt of high pressure located around 30 degrees latitude in both hemispheres and characterized by mostly calm winds. Air flows out from the ridge toward the upper and lower latitudes of each hemisphere, creating both the trade winds and the westerlies. A change in the ridge position of the Atlantic subtropical ridge (often referred to as the "Bermuda high," or "Azores high") has a direct impact on the tracks of tropical cyclones which typically form to its southern and western periphery
