Question 1150Navigation General

The correct answer is B) Buys Ballot's Law. Buys Ballot's Law states that in the Northern Hemisphere, if you stand with your back to the wind, the low-pressure center of a storm will be to your left. This allows you to estimate the bearing of a storm's center based on the wind direction. This principle is a key tool for mariners, including US Coast Guard licensed captains, to determine the location of a storm system and make appropriate navigational decisions. The other options are incorrect because: A) The left-hand rule is not a recognized principle for estimating storm center bearings. C) Guessing the storm center's bearing would not be considered an expert or reliable method. D) Pascal's Law deals with fluid pressure, not storm center estimation.
