Question 1147Navigation General

The correct answer is B) to the south of you. According to the law of Buys Ballot, in the Southern Hemisphere, the center of low pressure in an extratropical cyclonic storm will be to the south of an observer facing the wind. This is because in the Southern Hemisphere, the wind circulates counterclockwise around the low pressure center. The other options are incorrect because: A) the center would not be dead astern, C) the center would not be dead ahead, and D) the center would not be to the north, as per the law of Buys Ballot in the Southern Hemisphere.
