Question 1239Navigation General

The correct answer is B) southwest, clockwise to northwest. In the Northern Hemisphere, an observer at point II in illustration D014NG would experience a wind shift from the southwest, clockwise to the northwest. This is due to the Coriolis effect, which causes winds in the Northern Hemisphere to deflect to the right as they move. The observer at point II is positioned such that the wind direction shifts in a clockwise direction as the weather system passes by. The other options are incorrect because they do not accurately describe the wind shift direction expected in the Northern Hemisphere based on the Coriolis effect and the positioning of the observer in the illustration.
