Voeykov axis

On the territory of Mongolia and southern Siberia the high-pressure region diverges in two spurs in two directions - to the north and west.

It involves a clear, quiet and extreme freezing weather, which is set in the winter in the vast eastern Siberia.

West departs Voeykov axis, which can be traced on the territory of Kazakhstan and in the south of the East European Plain.

To the west of Moldova, it continues, gradually weakening, down to the South of France, where there is already an action of another center of high pressure - Azores anticyclone.

During winter in Eurasia the Voeykov axis plays an important climate role as a major winds separator.
