[:ja]大西宇宙飛行士がISSから撮影した低気圧の雲です。これは北半球と南半球のどちらでしょうか？
答えは南半球です。北半球では、風が低気圧中心に向かって吹く際にコリオリの力という見かけ上の力を受け、進行方向に対し中心から右にずれた地点に到達するため、台風は反時計回りの渦を巻きます。
写真は時計回りなので、南半球です。

[Earthview Wonders] No.84: Low Pressure System
Astronaut Onishi captured this photo of low pressure system from ISS. Is this typhoon of the northern or southern hemisphere?
The answer is southern hemisphere. In the northern hemisphere, Coriolis Force or fictitious force acts on the moving objects on the surface of the Earth to be deflected to the right and hurricanes rotes counter-clockwise.
The photo shows the clockwise rotation so this system is in the southern hemisphere.
