The 10 pages that link to Subtropical ridge, each with the reason it gives.

• Mediterranean climateRelated: Its poleward summer shift blocks rain-bearing storms from many Mediterranean-climate regions.

• Trade windsRelated: Its pressure gradient drives surface air toward the equatorial low.

• Atacama DesertRelated: Persistent high pressure over the region discourages rain-producing uplift.

• Hadley cellRelated: Descending air helps create this pressure belt beneath the cell’s poleward branch.

• Desert climateRelated: Its sinking air suppresses clouds and rainfall across many deserts.

• AnticycloneRelated: It is the broader pressure feature within which many oceanic anticyclones occur.

• Humid subtropical climateRelated: Its seasonal position can bring heat, humidity, and dry spells to nearby land.

• Roaring FortiesRelated: Air moving poleward from this pressure belt helps drive the midlatitude westerlies.

• High-pressure areaBroader topic: It links individual subtropical highs into a near-global pressure belt.

• SubtropicsBroader topic: This high-pressure belt shapes the clear skies and aridity common in subtropical regions.
