Question 1149Navigation General

The correct answer is A) to the south. According to the law of Buys Ballot, in the Northern Hemisphere, if the wind is blowing directly towards you, the center of the low pressure system is located to your south. This is because in an extratropical cyclonic storm, the wind flows counterclockwise around the low pressure center. The other options are incorrect because: B) the center would not be to the north, as that would contradict the law of Buys Ballot; C) the center would not be ahead of you, as that would imply the wind is coming from behind you; and D) the center would not be astern (behind) you, as that would also contradict the law of Buys Ballot.
