It is associated with the development of the Siberian High and the movement of the heating maxima from the Northern Hemisphere to the Southern Hemisphere.
12.
The winter precipitation in these regions is usually produced by low-pressure systems off the east coast that develop in the onshore flow from the Siberian high.
13.
The land-based Siberian High often remains quasi-stationary for more than a month during the most frigid time of the year, making it unique in that regard.
14.
The climate is quite dry, with maximum precipitation occurring in the summer months, due to the intense Siberian High forming around the very cold continental air during the winter.
15.
The climate, however, is harsher than in other parts of Honshk due to the stronger effect of the Siberian High, and permits only one crop a year on paddy fields.
16.
For the past several days, temperatures have dipped below minus 50 degrees Fahrenheit in many parts of northeastern Russia as the infamously frigid Siberian high-pressure zone settled over the region.
17.
This is the case for Siberia were the temperature is very cold in winter forming the Siberian High, or very hot in summer to give a thermal low in summer.
18.
A combination of the " Siberian high " : cold, high-pressure systems in the east, together with wet, cold cyclonic systems in the west largely determined the overall weather patterns.
19.
The North American High is akin to the Siberian High of Eurasia, but it is much smaller, and it has much less influence, merely affecting the weather of the Northern Hemisphere.
20.
In this area, temperature inversions consistently form in winter due to the extremely cold and dense air of the Siberian High pooling in deep hollows, so that temperatures increase rather than decrease with higher altitude.
